South Shore

Two migrants are facing felony charges after a South Shore woman allegedly found them in her apartment when she returned home from a Thanksgiving getaway. And, prosecutors say, one of them had a gun.

A man has been sentenced to 26 years in prison for strangling a 15-year-old girl he was “dating.” Joshua Williams, 25, already had a strangulation case pending in Colorado when first responders found Amarise Parker dead in his closet on December 10, 2023, officials said.

A man who repeatedly aimed a gun at an on-duty Chicago police officer because he wanted to be involved in a police pursuit has been given a two-year prison sentence. But Malcolm Moffett-Brown will not spend any time in prison because his sentence will be offset by credits earned by being on electronic monitoring while the case was pending.

COPA, the agency charged with investigating shootings and allegations of serious misconduct involving Chicago police officers, has released video and other materials from an incident in which cops shot at an armed man in September.

Prosecutors on Saturday accused a 17-year-old boy of murdering his mother in front of other family members while on house arrest for a pending juvenile case.

Prosecutors say a man repeatedly pointed a gun at Chicago police officers while trying to run away from the cops—just six days after being given “first-time weapon offense probation” in another gun case.

A 16-year-old boy is charged with robbing two rideshare drivers in the South Shore neighborhood last week, part of an ongoing crime pattern that involved at least 12 similar holdups, according to Chicago police.

Police are out with a fresh warning that Lyft and Uber drivers will definitely want to keep in mind. It involves a series of robberies and thefts targeting rideshare drivers who accept calls for service on three blocks along the same South Shore street.
