Prosecutors have charged a man with committing a murder on Independence Day 2023 after Chicago cops painstakingly compiled video cellular phone location data that tracked him from Diversey Harbor to the crime scene, officials said.
Armed men robbed at least six people during a one-hour crime spree in Humboldt Park and Ukrainian Village on Tuesday evening. Many of the victims were targeted at CTA bus stops. No arrests have been announced in connection with the crimes, which are the latest in a series of similar robbery sprees reported in the area over the past six weeks.
Police are investigating after a man was found fatally shot in an alley in the Roseland neighborhood early on New Year’s Day. Dispatchers received no calls of shots fired before the man was discovered in the 9400 block of South Harvard.
As of sunrise on January 1, at least 13 people have been shot in Chicago during the new year, one fatally. The first shooting of 2025 occurred in Wicker Park, according to Chicago police.
