CHICAGO — Here they are. The four people Chicago police want to speak with about last weekend’s shooting of a tourist in Streeterville. Area Three detectives released CTA surveillance photos of the foursome on Thursday afternoon, asking anyone with information about them to call in or submit an anonymous tip.
CPD said the four “were involved in discharging a firearm” near Illinois and McClurg around 8:12 p.m. Sunday. One of the bullets flew down the street and struck a 46-year-old woman who was walking with her 11-year-old son near Columbus Drive. She and her son ran across the bridge for safety and sought help. Officials said a bullet struck her in the arm.
Tips can be shared with investigators by calling 312-744-8261 or going to CPDTIP.com. Refer to case number JJ-175279.
The shooting occurred during an altercation between a group of people who were involved in a relatively small “teen trend.” Ald. Brian Hopkins (2nd), who has called for an 8 p.m. curfew for juveniles after previous “trends,” is renewing his efforts to get that done. Mayor Brandon Johnson has already spoken out against the idea.
