And Another Dead One

Former ShotSpotter neighborhood, a sergeant hears the gunfire, other officers see vehicles fleeing the area, someone actually calls 911, and eight minutes later....:

• A man was found murdered in a West Side alley on Wednesday night, eight minutes after police officers in the area first heard the gunfire that killed him. Had Mayor Brandon Johnson not disconnected the neighborhood’s ShotSpotter network last September, the 31-year-old would likely have been found much sooner, thanks to the gunfire detection system’s pinpoint accuracy.

  A Chicago police sergeant on patrol reported hearing gunfire around 8:39 p.m. and guessed that it came from somewhere within Laramie, Cicero, Ferdinand, and Lake. Another officer saw a couple of vehicles speeding out of that box. A 911 caller reported gunfire near the 4900 block of West Kinzie. Another caller reported a chase between two cars and gunfire near Lavergne and Hubbard.

CWB blog says this is Number 36 Wounded and/or Dead in a ShotSpotter hood. That doesn't even count the ones that were just property damage or nothing got hit.
