Chicago Police Officer Carlos Yanez Jr., partner of slain cop Ella French, moved to rehab after being paralyzed and losing an eye

Chicago Police Officer Carlos Yanez Jr., who lost an eye and was left paralyzed in the same shooting that killed Officer Ella French, has been moved to a rehabilitation facility, CBS Chicago reports. The milestone marks "a major step in his recovery process," CPD Supt. David Brown announced Monday afternoon.

"He still has a long road ahead, but we are grateful for the progress he is making. Please continue to keep him and his family, and the French family, in your thoughts and prayers. Also, let's keep Ella's and Carlos' partner and all CPD officers in your prayers as well," Brown said. Yanez is partially paralyzed and lost an eye. He was shot three times on Aug. 7 during a traffic stop at 63rd and Bell in West Englewood. French, one of his two partners, was killed in the same shooting.
