The mother of the two convicted felons charged in the murder of Chicago Police Officer Ella French was arrested on Tuesday morning after trying to force her way into her son’s hospital room.
The incident occurred at Advocate Christ Medical Center at approximately 8:30 a.m., when 41-year-old Evalena Flores showed up at the hospital demanding to see her son, 21-year-old Emonte Morgan, the Chicago Tribune reported.
Emonte Morgan, a convicted felon, was wounded by police after fatally shooting Officer French and repeatedly shooting her 39-year-old partner in the head and shoulder during a traffic stop on Aug. 7, according to investigators.
He has been charged with first-degree murder for the death of Officer French, as well as additional charges of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, two counts of attempted first-degree murder of a peace officer, and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, according to the New York Post.
Emonte Morgan’s brother, 22-year-old fellow convicted felon Eric Morgan, has been charged with obstruction of justice and unlawful use of a weapon, the New York Post reported.
Investigators said Eric Morgan was driving the vehicle police pulled over the night of the attack.
Both of Flores’ sons were on probation at the time.
Prior to heading to the hospital, Flores posted a Facebook live video declaring she needs “to be a voice” for her “boys.”
“You not alone. Know that s—t,” she told her sons, both of whom are in police custody. “For everybody else, I just wanna simply say there is another side, and my boys’ side is not being told right now.”
Flores said she “can’t speak too much” about her “boys’ side” of what occurred that night.

“But I will say this,” she noted. “Don’t believe everything you hear and see. It’s fictitious. And there is another side.”
