A man suffered a gunshot wound to the neck while walking to a friend’s house on the 1200 block of N. Hudson at around 6:30 p.m. on October 25. The man, 34, heard gunshots coming from the direction of a fight that had broken out across the street, and moments later felt a pain on the right side of his neck from a bullet that had grazed him “through and through” under the ear. The man’s nephew took him to Northwestern Memorial Hospital where he was treated and released.
Sandwich shop robbed
At around 10:00 p.m. on October 21, two men walked into a Subway restaurant on the 1500 block of W. Fullerton and one of the men placed an order. After coming back from the restroom, the man returned and waited for the cashier to ring up the charge. When the employee opened the register, the other man took out a pistol and said, “Yo, gimme the money, man,” according to what the employee told police. The employee then pressed the alarm and told the offenders that the police were on the way, at which point the man with gun repeated his demand. The employee handed over $350 in cash and the men ran out of the store.
Attacked
A 25-year old woman was approached by two men while she smoked a cigarette on the corner of Sheffield and Webster on the morning of October 19. According to the police report, one of the men said to her, “It must be nice going to school, is mommy and daddy paying for it? How about giving us some of their money?” The woman began walking away and the one of the men kicked her in the stomach and took her wallet. The two offenders then fled.
Attacked
On the evening of October 19, a store owner on the 0-100 block of W. Chicago approached a man standing outside of his store and asked him to leave. A verbal argument ensued, and the man struck the store owner in the chest and pushed him on the ground. The offender tried to reach into the man’s pockets, but he was able to pull himself away and the offender ran off. Officers later detained a man who matched the description of the offender and put him into custody after the store owner identified him as the man who attacked him.
Stalker?
Getting off the Brown Line train at the Sedgwick stop on the evening of October 21, a 24-year old woman noticed that a young man was looking at her on the platform. The woman walked out of the station and noticed that the young man was following her, so she turned around and stared at him and the he walked away. She continued walking and took out her iPhone, at which point the suspect ran up and grabbed it from her. She chased him to the Marshall Fields Garden Apartments, where he ran past security and into the courtyard of the complex. The woman talked to two security guards, who told her that they knew the boy; a 16-year-old nicknamed “Little Dave” who attended ASA Academy. The guards relayed the information to police, and officers were still looking for the suspect at the time of the report.
