Greely is not included in the city’s “Safe Passage” program and police response to the robbery was limited due to officers’ “Safe Passage” commitments.
The victim, who was attacked at 4:13PM, described the offender as male, black, in his late 30s or early 40s, very short—about 5’2”—skinny, with braids in his hair, wearing a black jacket and dark blue jeans. He was last seen running westbound through the alley behind Greely, toward Fremont Street.
The robbery is documented in Chicago Police Department case #HW504510.
