Prosecutors have charged a man with shooting toward two pedestrians in the Loop by firing a gun from below a CTA ventilation grate. The bizarre incident unfolded in the 100 block of North State around 8:30 a.m. on Monday, May 26.
Chicago police said two men, ages 48 and 30, were walking on the sidewalk when Rayvon Savary began firing up from a restricted area of CTA’s underground facility. The shots were allegedly fired through a sidewalk grate that covers a ventilation area near the State-Lake Red Line entrance. CPD has not disclosed a motive.
Savary will appear for a detention hearing at 26th and California on Wednesday afternoon. He is charged with aggravated discharge of a firearm and unlawful possession of a weapon. He was also cited for various CTA-related infractions.
