Another Shotspotter Miss
Only a critical wounding at this time:
A jogger found a man shot and critically injured in Hyde Park on Thursday morning, but the victim may have gone undiscovered for more than 45 minutes because the mayor disconnected the local ShotSpotter network in 2024, and the only call about gunfire in the area was not precise enough for police to locate him.
At about 4:06 a.m., a 911 caller reported hearing three shots fired near 55th Street and Cornell Avenue and seeing a car speeding away eastbound on 55th Street, according to CPD dispatch records. Officers responded and searched near the intersection, but did not find anything unusual.
More than 45 minutes later, at 4:54 a.m., police were sent to investigate a person shot call in the 5400 block of South Cornell Avenue after a jogger discovered a 31-year-old man shot near Cornell Park. Officers found the victim with two gunshot wounds to his chest, one to his back, and one to his arm. CPD said he was taken to the University of Chicago Hospital in critical condition.
Police located three shell casings in the grass next to the street, near where the man was found. That detail suggests ShotSpotter would have pinpointed the location for first responders had the system not been deactivated by the mayor.
It seems the victim was a CCL holder, which is too bad. We're convinced the only way crime is going to go down significantly is with citizens doing the job that police aren't allowed to do any more - removing criminals from circulation.

We don’t need Shotspotter according to Democrats.
I agree with this post that the police are not allowed to do their job. With that being said the department is forcing everyone to do a two day search warrant training along with breaching doors and room entry at Homan. The class is a total joke and some goofy sergeant from narcotics is encouraging the class to write warrants. This sergeant went on to say that older coppers should not discourage younger cops from do search warrants. Ummmmm…. News flash sarge. The Anjanette Young search warrants should have been the last warrant written by the CPD. It amazes me that department will try to give you time or try to take your job for the smallest infraction, but now want the rank and file to be proactive? Get fucked. I’ll get paid the same amount of money for burning gas then the guy chasing bad guys. This job is dead.
joggers are the new shot spotters
Is that a double entendre?
Hyde Park murder victim,,,,,IDGAF about another liberal taking a dirt nap,,,,c ya
And doing a great job.
Joggers have become the new shot spotters is pretty funny. The tides may turn one day and search warrants may be fashionable again but forcing officers to go to a mandatory search warrant writing class is a waste of time. Some officers have no interest in writing a search warrant. That’s fine. I was the affiant to a boat load of them and happy to do so but many others don’t want to go in that direction so why waste everyone’s time.
To the Sgt in Narcotics-
Dont sit in a classroom and TELL me how to do that stuff.
Get your ass back out on the street and SHOW US how to do it!
Show us how many Search Warrants you can do before you get into trouble and get a few days suspension!
Whoever that Sgt is, he’s a fucking idiot who’s now serving the kool aid!
That Entry class exists for two reasons-
1) The Rivera shooting. Hopefully it will keep the chances of someone getting shot accidentally down.
(If you go through it, you’re going to be scared watching some of these cops!)
2) Hein wants more search warrants done. Remember, Officers he’s been a “Tact Guy” for years! But that was 25 years ago, way, way before 7 different layers of oversight, and 7 different people who’ve never been the “police” scrutinizing every aspect of what was done, in order to find something WRONG and suspend you.
Yeah, “Proactive Policing” is deader than Dillinger. You’re just asking for trouble if you go that route.
And this is coming from an old school Sgt who has done Search Warrants and completely discourages any sort of pro-active shit today! My job is to keep my Officers SAFE-
Well, we still have mayor conehead and he is still a clown/fool. Honk-Honk!
I actually liked the search warrant training. Although I have never done one & probably never will. I still thought all the instructors did a good job.
Not that what I’m saying is rebutting the previous comments, those all hold true too
Grew up there. Right on my walk to school, this, again.
No ShotSpotter - and I guess there are not enough cars up anymore to even drive around the block and shine the light around - but a 700 million dollar concrete monolith with no discernable function, bearing incomprehensible writings, rears up from Jackson Park...
Yawn, stretch, yawn. I came outta my hole for this. Partner, wake me if we get a job. 19 P squad. Yawn.
Pass legislation that caps judgments against municipalities at 1 million dollars. Then subtract the cost of housing that defendant from the

100%! This is why I refuse to get involved in any search warrants, whether that be CPD, FBI, CCSP or ISP or our Burb partners or any other agency for that matter. If it isn't a 10-1 or officer needs assistance I am not volunteering for nonsense that can get me jammed up and sued. This isn't personal, it's just business. Survival of the smartest, because when it's all set and done, everyone goes home and we go straight to COPA.
A jogger found a man shot and critically injured in Hyde Park. Everyone on the street at night in Hyde park is a jogger. Its called survival.
The Rivera shooting? Bakers is an idiot. Finger on trigger cowboy. that panicked
