Have Gun, Will Travel
- The same gun used in two wild shootouts involving Chicago police as well as a daylight shooting in the downtown area last week has been traced to yet another shooting in Minnesota less than two months ago.
A criminal complaint filed in federal court in Minneapolis alleged that Sequana Cigolo , 38, bought a 9 mm semiautomatic handgun for Jason Winston, 48, the cousin of her former boyfriend who could not legally purchase a firearm because of his felony background. He allegedly reimbursed her about $250.
Winston was charged with passing the gun along to Cigolo’s former boyfriend, who is alleged to have shot Cigolo’s brother with the weapon on July 28, according to the complaint.
Cigolo’s former boyfriend then fled to Chicago, authorities in Minnesota said.
Authorities do not explain how the gun then allegedly ended up in the hands of Michael Blackman, 45, who faces a raft of charges in Cook County court for a shooting spree last week.
So...a straw purchase. And after being used in a Minnesota crime, the gun ended up in Chicago (with all the proper paperwork filled out for every subsequent transfer no doubt) and was used in a "raft" of crimes.
Any bets on whether Minnesota Federal Courts will be any more aggressive in sentencing someone who circumvented federal law to supply a gun to a known felon?
An aside - the media seems to be glossing over the wounding of the young lady in the Fulton River District. Has anyone verified her condition?

Your Honor may I introduce a flow chart to better illustrate the dynamics of the firearm’s travels and possession?
See? Background checks work....
Evening news said the young lady is partially paralyzed but didn’t elaborate.
The young lady that was shot is paralyzed.
That could of been any of us walking out that building!
Please give this nut job the electric chair!
I will pull the switch for free.
Unfortunately she is paralyzed.
The media is glossing over the young lady who was
shot because "Dayton has come to Chicago" and
they want no part of that. She's still alive so it's
convenient not to mention her. It's another straw
purchase gone bad and the timeline of Dayton is
all too recent.
A quick Google search of piblic records indicates:
Court, Arrest or Criminal Records
Sequana DOES have Arrest or Criminal Records. Check Full Background Report to see possible arrest or conviction records we have found on Sequana. This may include any DUIs, traffic tickets and outstanding warrants. When applicable, we may show where the crime occurred and provide details about the offense.
The informatin is readily available and the gun purchase should have ended before it began. The only answer is to create even more Laws that will be ignored in order to punish those that wish to protect their families from Superpredators that the State manufacturers.
I wonder if Corn Pop was involved.
FMB. It is never our homegrown punks fault it is always blamed on another state supplying the gun to THE TRIGGER PULLER. Forget that simply just having that gun is illegal much less pointing that gun at someone AND PULLING THE TRIGGER. No not their fault at all somehow that other state made them do it. Typical liberal thinking. Maybe if you punished that home grown thug when you catch him with the gun the first time the problem would go away. Use a gun in any crime and automatic seven years with no time off. Felon with a gun automatic ten years with no tome off. There problem solved very quickly. For some reason you want to blame guns not the people using them, but no one ever claimed that the SJW have any logic or brains. It is all about votes and staying power.
Oh, by the way -- "Universal background checks" wouldn't have stopped a single one of those transfers from happening.... unless criminals suddenly develop an affinity for paperwork.
She doesn't matter to the Red Star (times) or the Woke Trib. Just one of the little people the gray crowd.
If only they utilized a Universal Background Check, all would be OK.
I call “FAKE NEWS” our mayor has already proclaimed that all our guns come from Republican controlled Indiana. Now your trying to make me believe that the weapon came from democratically controlled Minnesota.
I heard that she is paralyzed, and they must have devoted an entire 10 seconds to this case last night on ABC.
Selling a gun is a NON violent crime.
KRIMESHA said so...
Yet these morons want to disarm those who create a legal paper trail.
The Minnesota courts will do nothing if Somalis are involved.
Bravo, Kudos to you sir.
“The only answer is to create even more Laws that will be ignored in order to punish those that wish to protect their families from Superpredators that the State manufacturers.”.
Indiana farmers Groot say's your innocent on this one.
😡 Who is managing that gun store? https://patch.com/illinois/oakforest/felons-accused-illegally-firing-guns-shooting-range?utm_term=article-slot-1&utm_source=newsletter-daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter
"They're" more mobile than ever, just what the powers that be wanted when they brought out the fake statistics about traffic stops...
"The bullet nearly hit her spine but fragmented in her body, breaking multiple ribs and tearing through an artery and nerve in her chest, the prosecutor said." Knowing that, she will never be the same. There is no place in society for a person who values life so little.
Nothing will happen to the straw purchaser. Many straw purchasers are black women, the gfs, baby mamas,sisters,cousins and friends of black males who can't pass a background check. The PC opinion is "there are too many POC in prison" & the other PC opinion that females are victims not offenders means no one is interested in enforcing the laws we have on the books. It is politically easier to violate the 2nd amendment rights of everyone than to actually punish those breaking the law. If handguns and semi auto rifles disappeared tomorrow the shitheads would start blowing each other away with Joe Biden approved double barrel shotguns cut down to where they would fit in baggy pants.
Personally I think the punishment for maiming,crippling or paralyzing some one should be the same as murder. When you kill someone the victim doesn't have to live with the results. When you cause a life altering injury to someone you have ended the life they had. Their new live will be an endless string of hospital stays, Dr. appointments,giving up independence and pain.
Fox32 reports that the young lady is paralyzed. Just sickening. I pray this victim has a strong support system, her life has been changed FOREVER due to the evil act of 1 man. I will gladly donate to any fundraiser that might be created to help.her.
The young lady that was shot is paralyzed.

If need be, I am sure some of us would volunteer to peddle a bike for the electricity.
Damn, if we only had *Universal Background Checks* then all of this could have been avoided. But nooooooo, the "gun lobby", and the dastardly NRA, own the republicans and they've stopped every attempt at passing; Common Sense Gun >Safety< Laws.
Yeah, yeah, a 'few' existing Federal, State, and Local firearm laws were ignored and broken, like the initial Straw Purchase by the woman, Sequana Cigolo, but..but..but.. a Universal Background Check Law would've worked. Honest injun, the democrats told me so.
Okay... you can stop laughing now. Though that Paralyzed woman won't be laughing at much from now on, all thanks to Sequana.
an aside: Speaking of Firearm Laws, you'll never guess what the democrats in DC have done now. You know those Red Flag Laws that are being discussed in Congress, well a Republican (don't know who) wanted to add a section that stated that all documented Street-Gang members -- in any Law Enforcement Gang Database -- be automatically 'Red Flagged' and permanently prohibited from owning and or possessing a firearm. Well, all the Democrats involved in that working group objected, and they REFUSED to include any language close to that in any Red Flag Bill.
So once again Democrats prove they're the party of and for the criminal!
Interesting side note. There has always been a connection between Chicago and Minneapolis with gang members fleeing from Chicago to the land of a thousand lakes.
I saw a handgun driving erratically down 90 east heading towards Chicago a while back. Looked to be a 9mm.
This is being made ALL about the gun, they will end up slapping the wrists of the shooter and a 6 month EM, This is ALL about the gun. They don't give a crap about the victim, it is ALL about the gun. The gun is BAD, some innocent person will pick up a gun and shoot someone. It is the guns fault, not the person.. guns are bad and must be removed..........
So surprising a FOID Card and CCL Holder would be such a piece of shit.My Prayers are with the Innocent Victims maimed or/and killed and Their Families by the political policies that create the environments and cultures of abandonment, division,racism,violence,murder,chaos,corruption, poverty and illiteracy .How about the stray bullets that kill unintended targets sitting in their homes? F them too.The assholes that pull the trigger that will never be brought to Justice are what's doing the killing. Even with Innocent Children being killed again and again in Chicago nothing! Criminals must be held accountable and punished for their actions .Please enforce existing laws .We the People are sick and tired of horseshit leadership! Thank You to All the Professional Chicago Police! You are the Best! Chicago appreciates and loves You!
Ain’t mines, dindu nuffin.
This had “an ex-boyfriend cousin” written all over it.
Lemme get this straight here....
So it appears SeQuan’s cousin (which from what I understand being Mn-St.P metro it could also be a spouse) had a ex-boyfriend that capped her brother/spouse (for no reason) and that now is on the loose in somewheres in Groots Sanctuary City...and wearing a MAGA hat perhaps?
When in doubt, blame a cousin, and Indiana and now Minnesota and guns and colonial laws.
Team KmmmFxxxUp 2020 and SquatchWrinkle could refuse to habeas corpus citing restorative justiciable privilege.
was that handgun registered with the chicago police department?
Ralph Papa Thorson Says:
I guess the gun walked to Minnesota and while there loaded itself and pulled its trigger a few times too. Leftist Logic 101
The Fulton River victim has a very long road ahead of her.
She has had multiple blood transfusions, and suffered life-altering injuries.
Luckily, she has/should survive- but she will NEVER be the same.
Such a shame. Everyone involved in this crime, including the illegal purchase of the weapon, through the hands it illegally passed through in Minnesota, and of course our Chicago offender- should be publicly and violently tortured, and allowed to die a slow death on display in Grant Park.
A message should be sent.
And on another note, I’m not bitching about overtime being cut (I didn’t have the seniority for it, and I don’t think it helped much) but unfortunately I had to utilize a business near Chicago/Wabash after dark the other day. HOLY. FUCK.
That entire stretch of Chicago Avenue looked like a rec yard at Cook County.
Swarmed with packs of west-side youth, some shirtless with shirts wrapped on their heads or over their shoulders, or wearing hoodies with the hoods up (it was comfortable weather- not so hot to be shirtless or not so cool to be hooded up- just can’t assimilate), dancing around in the streets, screaming and yelling, smoking weed, climbing on stuff, and also directly approaching/annoying/harassing people.
And the older west-side types panhandling and such.
It was like a scene out of a movie.
I’ve been a cop long enough, and had enough experiences that I generally feel ok in most situations.
I honestly felt very uneasy down there, like something was going to happen at any moment and I’d have to get involved.
The mayor can’t see those issues? That’s BIG tourist money that is being fucked with by “the commenerty” that goes down there for no legitimate purpose but to be disruptive.
And I know our hands are tied, but maybe can 018 do something about these hotspots?
The entertainment details on Hubbard and on Division are pretty much useless. They serve basically serve as uniformed security for the bars, and seem to forget that the “entertainment detail” is not just about following orders from the GMs of bars and clubs, and actually making sure the tourists/patrons are comfortable to enjoy a walk down the entire stretch of the block.
Every week people are getting beat down, robbed, and hurt. Open air drug sales and use, try driving down state street between Illinois and Hubbard later on in the evening sometime. It will sicken you.
I know it’s big the climate for aggressive police work, but there has to be an answer.
Sequana (lol) probably was buying guns all along,
including ammunition. Like most of the honies for
the useless members of society. Not the first time
or last! But have the police swipe in and out! If I
swipe out, u will get no activity ! The useless white
shirts are the problem , no answers to this violence !
You white shirts say the violence is gang related and
you can’t do much, except for your dumb missions or
marking violence zones. Well then resign and get out.
White shirts are useless ! Go and take Cr’s and write
a paragraph on how the police were wrong ! LOL
If it didn’t originate in Indiana then we don’t want to hear about it. Everybody knows all crime guns runaway on their own from Indiana.
Right on about that media gloss over.
Just a few hours ago a story from Cate Caugurian over at
ABC 7 never mentions her name or that she is paralyzed.
Thank you Cate, enjoy that steak dinner at Bustoff's Steak
House tonight. A pro-female reporter if I ever saw one.
Groot should just allow CPD to auction the seized guns off to whoever has the cash on street corners. That could help fund pensions. She doesn’t give a shit about federal laws so what’s the big deal. Maybe she’ll approve ammunition sales in alley ways too. Why scrap good guns? The scumbag thugs are going to get their hands on them anyway, might as well keep it in the family.

Why would it be? Unless you're CPD, you don't have to do that anymore.

A few years ago, there was a Greyhound bus station right near Spike Lee’s nightclub in downtown Minneapolis. Saw that and thought I was back in Chicago!

Ask an old Milwaukee Copper or old CPD T/F and V/C guys about when the
"peoples" (mostly) started their northward migration in numbers during
the 70's while fucking up everything in their path...
Summer in Milwaukee was so much fun once upon a time...
Do some dirty shit then flee north on I-94
Chicago to...
Milwaukee
Madison
Minneapolis-St.Paul
But on the flip trip,
we can't recall too
many m/fers fleeing
to Detroit though...
