It looks like the mayor is going to spend a long, hot summer defending his decision to spike ShotSpotter every time it directs cops to shooting scenes before 911 callers
For now, the system is still active and leading to arrests. Here are more examples.
Guilty! A jury yesterday convicted Sandra Kolalou of murdering her North Side landlord and dismembering the body in October 2022. Sentencing is expected this summer.
Prosecutors say he flagged down Chicago police to tell them he had a gun in his pocket less than 48 hours after he got arrested for having another gun in his pocket.
Now, he's facing TWO armed habitual criminal cases.
Days after he was charged with having a gun while speeding away from police in the suburbs, prosecutors charged him with hijacking an Uber driver in the city.
They asked a judge to keep him in jail. The judge sent him home.
UPDATE: An off-duty Chicago police officer was still wearing his uniform when he was shot and killed outside his home overnight, possibly during a carjacking, officials said.
Police first learned of the shooting via a ShotSpotter alert at 2:53 a.m.
Chicago cops saw a carjacking in progress in River North on Friday evening, then chased the hijackers until they crashed near the United Center. Four arrests.
