Another One
And it almost always seems like it's in the Ward of an aldercreature who actually wanted ShotSpotter around:
Officials are still trying to identify a man who was found fatally shot in a West Side alley early Tuesday after no one in the neighborhood called 911 to report the gunfire that killed him. The man is the latest shooting victim to go undiscovered in an area that used to be covered by the city’s ShotSpotter network.
The gunfire detection system was dismantled last year by Mayor Brandon Johnson despite repeated attempts by a supermajority of the City Council to keep the technology active.
A 911 caller reported finding the victim bleeding and unresponsive in an alley behind the 1800 block of South Ridgeway at about 12:37 a.m. Officers arrived to find the man lying on the pavement with gunshot wounds throughout his body. He was transported to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to Chicago police.
The caller told officers he had heard gunfire earlier in the night but did not report it at the time. No one else in the area called either, according to dispatch records. Investigators recovered four shell casings in the alley.
You'll know the money problems are over when Conehead re-instates some version of ShotSpotter 2.0 early next year.

Mark my words, a lot of crimes are going on reported right now, and crime will soon go through the roof!
Why even bother anymore?
Submitted Query: what determined the selection of locations where ShotSpotter devices were placed?

Nothing good happens in the hood ....
We can't afford shotspotter. See above thread regarding New Arrivals.
Those residents have just become accustomed to it. It is like people living next to the L don't hear the train.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
The gunshot victim would have survived if the Republican Leadership did not slash the budget for the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare raising the deductibles and monthly premiums for a fool's gold standard of care.
Its a given if this gunshot victim had paid up to date private medical insurance he would be alive today. And recuperate in a room with paid up cable, clean mattress, hot water, hospital servants and unlimited hot plates.
Running low on pithy there, buddy?
No vapors for you on this one.
☹️
Good. These democRATS need to get it good and hard. Hopefully only them are vicims
Calling the police for shots fired would be like calling the police on kids riding their bikes on the sidewalk in my neighborhood. Its their normal, it's how they raise their children.
Not much sound when suppressor ysed
The man is the latest shooting victim to go undiscovered in an area that used to be covered by the city’s ShotSpotter network.
Just report that he was shot by the police and plenty of friends, relatives, pastors and lawyers will come out of the wood work to make him discoverable.
Agreed!
I hope this is sarcasm... It's hard to tell nowadays cause there are Dimocratic drones who believe this bullshit!
Bring it back just rebrand it as ICE spotters. Viola!
There’s still plenty of sound. It’s not like the movies. IME, Rifle suppressors seem to help more with felt recoil than sound.
I don’t see a slot for allocation of funds for midnight basketball!!!!
