Uptown

Two hijackers took a woman’s car in Uptown overnight, the neighborhood’s 13th carjacking of the year.

The Chicago Police Department’s marine unit was no match for a man who allegedly tossed a loaded handgun into the lake as a patrol unit approached him Thursday evening near Montrose Beach, according to prosecutors.

Tony Landers was arrested for battering a woman on the street less than three days after he was released for allegedly assaulting Uptown Ald. James Cappleman.

An Uptown man has been charged with misdemeanor aggravated assault stemming from an alleged confrontation with local Ald. James Cappleman (46th) over the weekend. It’s at least the third time Cappleman has had someone arrested since being elected in 2012.

The man who drove an Uptown shooting victim to a hospital for treatment Saturday morning faces a felony gun charge after police allegedly found a handgun on the front seat of his car.

An Uptown couple who allegedly shot their 1-year-old son in the head as they struggled for control of a gun and then tried to cover it up by lying about what happened have reached plea deals.

Prosecutors say an 18-year-old man carjacked and kidnapped a driver in Uptown earlier this year, but cops tracked him down because he transferred funds from the victim’s CashApp account to his own — which has his real name, address, and birthdate on it.

A federal judge sentenced a 19-year-old man to 12 years in prison on Tuesday for a carjacking in which he allegedly fired a shot toward the victim at point-blank range as she hung out the rear door of the hijacked car.
