Prosecutors on Friday said a Chicago man killed his roommate with a knife and hammer last month, then hid her body in their apartment, and moved into a motel.

Major crime reports are up 58% so far this year in Chicago, driven by auto thefts, according to the latest Chicago Police Department statistical reports.

Jeffery Brown, a 17-year-old Chicago high school student, had two pending felony gun cases in juvenile court when he and three other gunmen opened fire on a man outside a West Side store last summer, prosecutors said.

The man shot by a Chicago police officer on Monday afternoon ran directly toward the cop with a loaded gun in his hand and was “within arm’s reach” when the officer fired, prosecutors said during a court hearing Wednesday.

A Chicago man is facing a slew of felony charges after allegedly robbing a man at gunpoint and then staying at the scene to eat the victim’s takeout fried chicken.

A heavily-intoxicated man, driving with a gun on his lap, slammed into another car at over 100 mph, killing two women and injuring several others on a Chicago expressway last month, prosecutors said Tuesday.
