Lincoln Park

The alderman who represents most of Lincoln Park is inviting residents to co-sign a letter calling on city commissioners to permanently revoke the liquor and public place of amusement licenses for a nightclub that officials have linked to two shootings since June.

A 39-year-old Aurora woman remains hospitalized with devastating injuries nearly two months after she was shot after leaving a Lincoln Park bar. On Friday, prosecutors charged a concealed-carry holder who had been drinking at the club that night with trying to kill her and tying the shooting to The Dime, the same bar that city officials have connected to an unrelated fatal shooting in July.

A man has been charged with shooting a woman near a popular Lincoln Park bar strip on June 7, an incident that rattled neighbors even before a second, unrelated shooting just yards away turned fatal in July.

The city has shuttered a Lincoln Park bar that officials linked to the fatal shooting of a man in the neighborhood on Sunday night, according to the local alderman. The Dime, 2263 North Lincoln Avenue, was closed Tuesday morning under a summary closure order signed by Chicago Police Interim Supt. Fred Waller, Ald. Timmy Knudsen (43rd) announced Tuesday afternoon.

Chicago’s 911 center received multiple calls of suspicious activity, a fight, and even a man with a gun in the nearly 40 minutes that preceded the fatal shooting of a man on a troubled Lincoln Park bar strip late Sunday night, CPD radio transmissions show. But the local police district was in a “backlog” for nearly two hours, meaning dispatchers did not have any patrol units available to handle incoming service requests, and those calls did not generate a police response until it was too late.

A 30-year-old man was shot and killed during a brawl outside a Lincoln Park bar Sunday night, and a CPD report indicates two shooters were involved. One, a 25-year-old concealed carry holder, returned to the scene about 45 minutes later, surrendered his gun and told police he was involved. The second remained at large.

A man is in custody after a bar-goer was shot and killed Sunday night on a Lincoln Park nightlife strip, just steps from where a woman was shot last month, according to Chicago police.

A man who shot a Chicago police officer in the face in Lincoln Park and then yelled, “You will die!” pleaded guilty Monday to attempted murder and was sentenced to 35 years in prison, court records show.

A 39-year-old woman remained in critical condition Monday after she was shot outside a bar in Lincoln Park over the weekend, and the alderman who represents the neighborhood is now pushing city officials to tighten the rules on the strip of nightlife businesses where it happened.

Five people robbed a man on the lakefront and fired a shot at him during the mugging early Sunday, police said. The victim was not injured, but the group made off with his wallet and phone. The incident may be gang-related.

A woman was shot and critically injured in Lincoln Park early Sunday, and the local alderman says the shooting occurred outside a neighborhood bar.
