Peacemaker Project 703

Chris Oberheim was a 44 year-old Champaign Police Officer who was shot and killed while on duty on May 19th, 2021. Chris, an excellent police officer with 20 years of experience, was responding to a call for help. He and another officer were coming to the aid of a woman and her children. They engaged the perpetrator and within 7.5 seconds he began firing his unlawfully-possessed gun at Officer Oberheim and his partner. Officer Oberheim left behind his wife, Amber, and 4 daughters, Hannah, Avery, Addison, & Aubree. On the day of his funeral, they made a commitment to all police officers. They committed to defend their name, their purpose, their honor, and their badge. As a result, Amber and her daughters created a God-serving foundation in Chris’s honor called Peacemaker Project 703.
