Brandon's Bodies Stacking Up

CWB has started a separate heading just for these incidents - follow it here.

In the meantime, here's number 4 (aggravated battery):

• A man who was shot during a robbery in a West Side park on Sunday night sought help by walking to a nearby gas station. But, records show nobody called 911 to report the shots, which were fired in an area previously served by the city’s ShotSpotter network.

  Police said the 48-year-old was in Horan Park in the 3000 block of West Van Buren when two armed men confronted him around 8 p.m. They demanded his property and shot him in the back, according to CPD. The men fled on foot without getting anything from the victim, who was listed in fair condition.

Number 5 (homicide):

• Chicago police found a man lying dead with gunshot wounds to his chest and back on a West Side street overnight. There had not been calls of shots fired in the area, which was monitored by ShotSpotter gunfire detectors until last week, for over an hour.

  A 911 caller reported the man down at 1:52 a.m. in the 4800 block of West Adams. Investigators found about a dozen bullets and an ammunition magazine a few steps from the victim’s body.

And number 6 (homicide):

• Yet another murder victim has been found lying alone on a street previously monitored by the ShotSpotter gunfire detection system. He is at least the third person found fatally shot without any 911 calls reporting gunfire since Mayor Brandon Johnson ended the city’s relationship with ShotSpotter on September 22.

  Police received a call of a person down in the 3500 block of West Cermak around 11:47 p.m. Tuesday, according to Chicago police. Officers found the victim, who had suffered gunshot wounds to his back, chest and arm. He was pronounced dead shortly after midnight.

Not a single call to 9-1-1 reporting shots fired in any of these incidents.

Suggestion to Larritorious and Conehead - pull the cops out of these neighborhoods and re-deploy them to the parts of the city worth saving....you know, where people WANT the police and actually CALL the police when they hear gunfire. It would be a far better use of taxpayer dollars.
