Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot botched fallen officer Ella French’s name just days after Chicago police superintendent David Brown did the same.
"The horrible tragedy of Ella Frank’s murder," Lightfoot said during the 2022 budget engagement forum held at Truman College on Thursday.
The flub was criticized by the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police, which tweeted on Friday, that "This is one of those times when words really matter."
The mayor’s office did not immediately respond to Fox News’s request for comment on the matter.
French, 29, was shot and killed on Saturday night during a traffic stop. She is the first officer since 2018 to be killed in the line of duty in the city.
Lightfoot botching her name comes just days after Brown referred to French as "Ella Fitzgerald" twice on Monday.
"The offender who is charged with first degree murder of Ella Fitzgerald," Brown said at one point during the press conference.
"The gun used in this shooting and this murder of Ella Fitzgerald was illegally possessed," he said at another point.
Ella Fitzgerald is the name of an award-winning jazz singer who died in 1996.

Not only is she a stupid dyke, she’s an incompetent stupid dyke!
Eventually we will have to admit we are in a war with ourselves. Coexistence is impossible. The hate us, want us dead and don’t even know who we are. We just in their way. They can rule over the dumb, addicted, crazy, confused, entitled, and foolish but we stand in their way. We have to go. Either conform, die or hide. They don’t care as long as you don’t fight or vote back.
The entire vax vs unvax is another way to put us in their farm stalls.
Obama and company did that all the time..
Or the abilities of Dominion voting machines. They cheat really good.
Actually, her runoff opponent, fellow ultraleft Demonrat Toni Prickwinkle, was considered worse(!) than Beetlejuice. Hard to imagine, but each Chicago Mayor seems to be even more horrid than the last. Voter fraud is, of course, rampant in Chi-town, but was unnecessary for this particular race.
Disrespecting the murder of Officer French is politically advantageous to reinforce the rodent queens street credibility.
And, unfortunately, that last GOP Mayor was a horror. Big Bill Thompson was in the back pocket of Capone. There hasn’t been a non-corrupt/non-incompetent/non-thug Mayor since Thompson’s Democrat predecessor (1923-27), Honest Bill Dever. Chicago, sadly, usually prefers the crook.
Tell me you made up that name....
The morons that elected her are UGLY MORALLY and VERY STUPID!!
Mayor Beetlejuice is probably more concerned for the welfare of the POS who murdered her.
🤔💉😷🤔
Absolutely.
Chicago hasn’t had a fair election in 50 years.
I didn’t. Neither Prickwinkle or Beetlejuice.
