Chicago —
According to Chicago police, a lady was shot on Sunday afternoon during a robbery in the North Lawndale neighborhood. This makes her at least the fourth victim of armed robbery since Thursday night. In Austin, Logan Square, and Rogers Park, there have been more shooting victims.
(Update: On Monday morning, a fifth robbery victim was shot.)
At 1:10 p.m., three guys, at least one of whom was armed, approached the 19-year-old in the 3900 block of West 21st Street. According to CPD, after they demanded her belongings, one of them opened fire, hitting the woman in the torso. Her health was critical when she was brought to Mt. Sinai Hospital.
After taking the woman’s goods, the three bandits fled west, according to the police. Three Black males were identified by an officer who studied the surveillance film. One was dressed entirely in black, including shoes, the other in all black, including shoes, and the third was dressed in a black top and red pants.
In the 200 block of North Latrobe on Saturday night, an armed carjacker climbed into the rear seat of an Uber driver, 49, and fired shots, according to police.
At around 9:01 p.m., the hijacker got into the Toyota Camry and told the victim to get out of the car because he had stopped to pick up a passenger.
Even though the rideshare driver was following the carjacker’s instructions, the victim was shot in the knee, according to the authorities.
