Chicago Police Detective Plotted Hit on Female Investigator He Assaulted, Lawsuit Alleges

A Chicago police detective convicted of assaulting his ex-girlfriend is accused of planning to have her killed after he was served with a restraining order, according to a lawsuit filed in federal court. Det. Marco Torres allegedly texted another officer in May 2024 and asked for the victim's home address so that a hitman could "get rid of" her.

The alleged plot came just months after Torres had been convicted of threatening the woman's life as part of their abusive relationship. According to the lawsuit, Torres repeatedly harassed and stalked the woman despite an order of protection being in place.

Torres also allegedly tried to obtain the victim's home address from other law enforcement officials, but they refused to provide it due to his prior threats. The officer who received the text message claiming a hitman was hired did not forward it to the victim, allowing Torres' plan to proceed.

The woman is suing Torres and the city of Chicago for allegedly failing to protect her after she reported being the victim of domestic abuse and harassment. Her attorney argues that the police department has a systemic problem with gender violence and that women who report abuse are instead punished and put in greater danger.

Torres faces multiple felony charges, including harassing another officer and threatening to get her fired if she testifies against him. He was previously convicted of a misdemeanor assault charge and is currently on probation, which prohibits him from carrying a gun.
 
can't believe what's going on with these cops... 🤯😡 they're supposed to be protectin' us not puttin' us in harm's way like this. Torres thought he was above the law just 'cause he had a badge, but now his own colleagues are turnin' against him and his dirty deeds are finally comin' back to haunt him.

it's so messed up that women who report abuse get punished instead of protected. what kind of system is that? 🤷‍♀️ Torres was supposed to be helpin' us, not tryin' to kill us. this whole thing stinks and justice needs to be served ASAP. 💔
 
I'm so disturbed by this news 🤯. A detective, supposed to be upholding justice, is caught plotting to have his ex-girlfriend killed? It's like something straight out of a thriller movie, but it's all too real 😨. And what's even more appalling is that he allegedly tried to get away with it because the police department failed to protect her after she reported being abused 🙅‍♂️.

It makes me wonder how many other women have been put in harm's way by law enforcement who are supposed to be on their side? This isn't just about one person, it's a systemic issue that needs to be addressed ASAP 💪. We need police departments to take allegations of domestic abuse seriously and provide real support to victims, not sweep it under the rug 🚫.

As for Torres, he should rot in prison for his crimes 😡. The fact that he was able to carry out this threat due to a flawed system is a stain on justice itself 💔. We need better, we need now ⏰.
 
I'm literally shook by this news 🤯. The fact that someone in a position of power would even consider plotting harm against someone because they broke up with them is just, like, totally messed up 😱. I mean, Torres was already convicted of threatening her life and still trying to get the address? It's like he thought he could just play by his own rules and nobody would notice 🚫. And the fact that other officers refused to give him the info because they knew what was coming is just, like, totally admirable 💯. I'm so glad she's taking Torres (and the city of Chicago) to court for allegedly failing to protect her - it's about time someone held them accountable for this systemic problem of gender violence 🚫💪.
 
OMG this is so messed up 🤯! Like, how can someone be so sick and still have power? A detective planning to have his ex kill her? That's like something out of a bad movie. And the fact that he thought other officers would just hand over her address like it was no big deal... ugh, corrupt cops are the WORST 💔. I'm so sorry this woman went through all that and is now having to fight for justice again. The police department needs to do some serious soul-searching about their handling of domestic abuse cases. It's not just about punishing the abuser, it's about making sure women feel safe when they come forward with allegations. 💪
 
Ugh, this dude is like the real-life version of a Bond villain 😂🕵️‍♂️! Can you believe he tried to hire a hitman after being served with a restraining order? Like, what's next, gonna try to pay off someone to do his taxes for him? 🤣 And poor lady, she's suing the city and the cops for not doing their job... like they're supposed to be on her side in this situation! 🚨💪 I'm just glad she's speaking out about this stuff because it's time we start talking about systemic problems with women's safety in law enforcement. We need to get some new recruits who aren't, you know, trying to kill their girlfriends 😳👮‍♂️
 
I don’t usually comment but I just can't believe the crazy stuff that's going on in this case... A detective plotting to have his ex-girlfriend killed after she got a restraining order against him? Like, what's wrong with these people?! 🤯 He's already been convicted of assaulting her and threatening her life, and now he thinks he can just hire someone to do it for him? It's like something out of a movie or a bad soap opera. The fact that other cops tried to help him get the victim's address but didn't is just mind-boggling too... How did they not see this coming?! 😱 And now she's suing the city and the police department for allegedly failing to protect her, which I can totally understand... It's like they're more interested in covering their own backsides than actually doing what's right. 🚔💔
 
This is just insane 🤯. I mean, how do you even plan to have someone killed after being served with a restraining order? It's like something out of a bad movie. And the fact that he texted another officer asking for her home address so he could hire a hitman... it's just terrifying 😱.

And what really gets me is that his own colleagues wouldn't forward the message to the victim because they were worried about Torres' threats, but also didn't want to get involved. I mean, who wouldn't want to protect their colleague from harassment? 🤔

It's clear that this guy was a danger to himself and others, and it's disgusting that he managed to evade serious consequences for so long. I'm not surprised at all that the victim is suing the city of Chicago for failing to protect her - it's a total abuse of power and a slap in the face to anyone who's ever been a victim of domestic abuse. 💔
 
😒 can't believe the justice system doesn't do more to protect people like this poor woman 🤷‍♀️. I mean, it's one thing when you're dealing with someone who has a history of domestic abuse, but when it comes to law enforcement actually doing their job... 😴. Like, who lets a guy who's been accused of threatening a hit on his ex text another officer and expect everything to be okay? 🤔. And what's with the police department having a "systemic problem" with gender violence, but not actually doing anything about it? 🙄. I guess when you're more worried about "not rocking the boat" than actually keeping people safe, that's when things get really messed up 💔.
 
this is so messed up 🤯 torres was already convicted of assaulting his ex and now he's accused of planning her murder? that's just insane the fact that he tried to get info about her home address from other cops without being stopped is wild, like who lets someone with a history of abuse access that kind of info? and the police department is just sitting on it? that's some serious negligence going on here 🤦‍♂️
 
Umm what's going on here 🤔? A detective who's already been in trouble for beating up his ex-girlfriend now thinks he can hire someone to kill her? 😱 That's just wild. And the fact that other officers didn't report the text message makes me wonder if there were some kinda code of silence thing going on... how did this guy even get away with it for so long? 🤷‍♀️

And honestly, I feel bad for the woman who was being stalked and harassed despite having an order of protection. It's just not right that she was put in more danger because she reported abuse. The police department should be doing more to protect people like her, not putting them in harm's way. 🚨

I'm also kinda curious about how the system failed this woman... did she have to go through a lot of hoops before they finally took action? And what's going on with Torres' probation and stuff... is he really that careless? 🤷‍♂️
 
ugh this is so messed up 🤯 like how can u even think about hurting someone when theyre already in distress? im really sorry to hear that this woman went through this for so long she deserves all the support & protection possible and it sounds like the police department failed her big time 🙄 Torres should be facing way more serious charges than he is. its heartbreaking to see women being blamed or punished for reporting abuse 😔
