David Blake, Chicago Cop, Murdered by Another Police Officer?

Was 45-year-old David Blake, a member of Chicago’s SWAT team, murdered by another Chicago police officer?

I’m starting to think so, and I am not the only one. Furthermore, it is my belief, Chicago police officer, Theodore Browning, knows more about Blake’s murder than previously stated.

A few days ago, a tipster told me David Blake was murdered by another cop, because Blake was having an affair with the officer’s wife. When I pressed for more details, the source clammed up tighter than an oyster holding on to a pearl.

When I interviewed other leads, they too indicated a love triangle precipitated Blake’s murder - but wouldn’t go into specifics.

So, what does Chicago cop, Theodore Browning, have to do with all of this?

During the initial stages of the investigation, Browning told CBS 2 reporter, Dana Kozlov, he didn’t know Blake personally. That statement is on camera for the whole world to see and hear.

However, Fox Chicago News unearthed a text message linking Browning to Blake. Since I haven’t read the text message, I can’t vouch for the truthfulness of FOX’s report. But when reporters came knocking on Browning’s door to ask him about the text message, he was suspiciously unavailable.

On November 22, 2010, the day officer Blake was shot to death on the 2900 block of West Seipp Street, Browning, who claims to have been inside his home, said he heard five gunshots. When he stepped outside to investigate, Browning said he saw a man running away from Blake’s SUV.

CBS 2 reporter, Dana Kozlov, asked Browning off-camera, why he didn’t chase the suspect. Browning said his gun was in a closet and he was wearing house shoes at the time.

And what about the cigarette dangling from officer Blake’s mouth, when his body was discovered? According to acquaintances, Blake wasn’t a smoker.

Again, Fox Chicago News has an answer. According to their investigation, the cigarette was planted in Blake’s mouth as a message. The message being… you’ve been smoked.

  1. After reading this entire story, this does sound like something fishy is going on. I trust that Fox News is and will stay on this? Part of me finds this shocking but another part of me wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the story were true. Please keep us posted and thanks again for all the great reporting you send our way.

  3. Another local blog says that an arrest has been made and rumor has it that it was a Police Officer arrested. And the term "down low" was used in the thread.........

  6. There was lot of information on a rumored arrest on another blogsite. When I went to view it. The thread had been taken down. I was told that the alleged shooter was a P.O. and somebody was on the down low. Officer Blake was inferred to have been on the down low. It also said the investigation was sealed. Whats up with that?

    The thread was probably removed for legal reasons. I haven't heard of anyone being arrested for Officer Blake's murder.

  9. Interesting. It was so funny how the story seemed to drop out of the spotlight so quickly. Partly because another officer was killed just days later. But in the back of mind I was wondering, what about the other cop?

  10. this cop was having affairs with girls under the age of 18 and thats a fact the reason it has dropped out of the news is because they are keeping it quiet because they know it.They got on tv decorating this cop and now they know they have to keep quiet until they find out who did this.

  11. Tim, you're close. And yes, it's an officer who has been arrested. Do a little more digging.

  12. So was the Officer arrested the same one who made the call? Was Blake humping the officer's wife, the officer or both? There are so many rumors out there. It's been a month and this has been swept under the rug since the yellow tape came out.......

  13. Detained for questioning (48 hours) and arrested are not the same.
