Funeral services for Bartholomew begin at 10 a.m. at St. Andrew’s Greek Orthodox Church, located at 5649 N. Sheridan Rd. in Edgewater. According to Chicago’s Office of Emergency Management and Communications, major traffic impacts were expected to begin Friday morning, continuing through at least 3 p.m.
Friday’s service comes after a visitation was held Thursday, drawing dozens of emergency responders who lined streets in front of St. Andrew’s. Flags in Illinois have been ordered to fly at half-staff through sunset Friday as part of the memorial plans.
Bartholomew, from Evanston, was a 10-year veteran of the Chicago Police Department. According to his obituary, he leaves behind a wife and three children.
The 38-year-old officer was fatally shot on April 25. According to prosecutors, Bartholomew and his partner were transporting Alphanso Talley, to Endeavor Health Swedish Hospital after Talley told police he had swallowed multiple narcotics and was having trouble breathing.
Once inside the hospital, Talley pulled out a gun hidden under his hospital gown. Talley then fatally shot Bartholomew and critically wounded his partner, officials say.
