51 people shot over Memorial Day weekend in Chicago, the most violent in five years
About half of those shot were on the West Side, most of them in a single police district where there were two mass shootings. At least 23 people were shot on the South Side and four downtown.

8 dead and 30+ wounded is unfortunately about the norm for a warm weather Friday anymore - the %%% of dead vs wounded has risen significantly compared to previous years - indicates a more serious intent .....
And with that I have to wonder if the CPD even has the resources to investigate to get a "two for one" out of these shootings? For that matter even if they do whether the local DA even cares to prosecute?

CHICAGO -- Memorial Day weekend violence has left nine people dead and 35 others wounded, Chicago police said.
Police said three people were shot while standing on the sidewalk in the 9100-block of South Harper Avenue when someone drove up and fired at around 1:45 a.m.
A 59-year-old man, 57-year-old woman, and a 77-year-old man were all hit and transported to local hospitals.
The violence happening despite Mayor Brandon Johnson's new safety plan, to increase police on the streets and include community groups to help curb violence in the city.
Over the weekend, 35-year-old William Hair's family spoke to ABC7 about what happened to their loved one early Saturday morning in Lakeview.
"He was there with his best friend. They pulled up, didn't have a chance to do anything. His best friend, thank God, was with him, and valiantly tried to save his life, and performed CPR, helped him breathe. My son fought for his life, but he was gone," Bill said.
Hair was one of five people shot over the past four days in Lakeview, police are saying they plan to increase patrols in that area.
Sunday night, police say a 2-year-old boy was shot while was playing in a bedroom with an adult when a gun went off - the boy was hit in the right hand.
Earlier that same day, a 2-year-old girl was hit in the hand after she found a gun and accidentally shot herself. Both children are expected to be OK.
"This is not an accident. This is negligence due to these guns inside these homes with no lock on it. Get a lock, lock it down, save these children," said community activist Andrew Holmes.
The violence has been happening despite Johnson's new safety plan to increase police on the streets and include community groups to help curb violence in the city.

ABC7 caught up with Johnson at an unrelated event on Monday.
"We have a lot of work to do in the city. Poverty didn't go away over the weekend. And, we understand that when communities have been disinvested in and traumatized, that you're seeing the manifestation of the trauma," Johnson said.
Johnson also said he was encouraged to see people coming together over the weekend, in hopes of building a safer Chicago.
"We definitely have to come together as a community to continue to work on this. We are in a state of emergency," said Carolyn Ruff with BLM - Women of Faith.
In an open roll call on the Southwest Side over the weekend with police, Johnson, community members, local and state leaders, the 8th District Chicago police commander vowed to work diligently to combat crime.
"We're showing we won't stand for violence in this neighborhood or in any neighborhood and we're showing the 8th District and the Chicago Police Department is behind us," said CPD Commander Bryan Spreyne. "It's difficult. It's definitely trying times and as I've told a lot of the communities before, it's not just the police department that's suffering. Every job, every career, every aspect of business is short on employees."
Johnson said he will continue to work with all of the city's partners in addressing the root causes of crime and bring necessary support to communities.
"This weekend, what you saw on display is that everybody recognizes that it's going to take all of us to unite the city and to build a better stronger safer city," Johnson said.
Over an hour earlier, three men were shot on Chicago's North Side, CPD said. The men were walking on the sidewalk in the 600-block of West Barry Avenue in the city's Lakeview neighborhood at about 12:50 a.m. when shots were fired, Chicago police said. The three were outside the Mariano's at Broadway and Barry when the shooting took place, according to CPD. Chicago fire crews took one of the men to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in serious condition, with gunshot wounds to the back and chest. A 22-year-old man also was taken to Masonic in good condition with a gunshot wound to the leg, and a 32-year-old taken to Masonic was in good condition with a gunshot wound to the back, police said. It was not immediately clear what led to the shooting. No one was in custody later Sunday morning. Area Three detectives are investigating.
Minutes earlier, a man was fatally shot in Washington Heights early Sunday, police said. The man, 20, was in the 1000-block of West 105th Street at about 12:30 a.m. when two men approached and at least one of them fired shots, according to Chicago police. The victim was struck in the head and legs, and he was pronounced dead on scene. No arrests have been made and detectives are investigating.
Another man has died after being shot in Woodlawn Saturday night, police said. The man, 26, was leaving a gas station in the 500-block of East 67th Street around 10:55 p.m. when someone in a white SUV fired shots, according to Chicago police. He was taken to University of Chicago Medical Center with multiple gunshot wounds to the back. He was pronounced dead at the hospital. No one is in custody and detectives are investigating.
Just under an hour earlier, a 14-year-old girl suffered a graze wound during a shooting in Englewood. Just before 10 p.m., the teen was standing on a sidewalk with a group of people in the 7000-block of South Ada Street when the shots were fired, Chicago police said. She suffered a graze wound to the right arm and was treated at the scene, but declined to be taken to a hospital, police said. No one was in custody.
Earlier that day, a woman was killed and three men were wounded in an Auburn Gresham drive-by shooting. Just before noon, the woman and men were in the 7900 block of South Ashland Avenue when a vehicle approached and someone inside opened fire, Chicago police said. The woman, 69, was found in a nearby vehicle with a gunshot wound to her flank, police said. She was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead, police said. One man, 55, was shot in the back and another, 34, in the arm, police said. They went to the University of Chicago Medical Center in good condition. The third man, 26, was hit in the shoulder and went to Stroger Hospital, where he was listed in good condition, authorities said. No one was in custody.
Under an hour earlier, a man was shot to death in the Humboldt Park neighborhood on the Northwest Side. It happened about 11:15 a.m. in the 1100-block of North Ridgeway Avenue, according to Chicago police. The man, thought to be between 25-30, suffered multiple gunshot wounds. He died at a hospital. Area detectives were investigating.
Earlier Saturday morning, a man was shot and killed in the Little Village neighborhood on the Southwest Side. At about 3:20 a.m., Johnathan Salgado, 22, was standing on the sidewalk in the 2400-block of South Homan Avenue when he was shot in the chest, according to Chicago police. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he later died, police said. No one was in custody.
About 20 minutes earlier, two people were shot, one fatally, in the Heart of Chicago neighborhood, police said. A 36-year-old woman and a 37-year-old man were standing on a sidewalk in the 2300-block of West 18th Street just before 3 a.m. when someone fired shots, according to Chicago police. They were taken to a nearby hospital, where the man was pronounced dead. The woman was listed in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the face. No arrests have been made and detectives are investigating.
At around 12:50 a.m., police say a man, 33, was found shot to death in Auburn Gresham. He was found on a sidewalk in the 7800-block of South Seeley Avenue according to police. He suffered a gunshot wound to the armpit and was pronounced dead on the scene. No one is in custody and detectives are investigating.
A 16-year-old girl was also shot while standing on a sidewalk in East Garfield Park. It happened early Saturday morning around 1:11 a.m. in the 3000 blk. of W. Jackson. The teen was taken to Mt. Sinai in fair condition with a gunshot wound to her right side. There is no one in custody and Area Four detectives are investigating.
Another teen was shot in a Jeffrey Manor home after opening the front door Friday night, Chicago police said. The shooting happened just before 10:30 p.m. in the 9700-block of South Merrill Avenue, police said. The 17-year-old male victim was still inside the home when he was shot in the leg. He was taken to a hospital in good condition, police said. No other information was immediately available.
Last weekend, at least 23 people were shot, one fatally, police said.

About half of those shot were on the West Side, most of them in a single police district where there were two mass shootings. At least 23 people were shot on the South Side and four downtown.

Okay last year 44 were shot and 9 died. This year 53 were shot and 11 died over Memorial Day?
Looks like a fail to me.

The amount of money in this "program" is insane IIRC this year it was $11 million to pay "former" gang members $100/day to get their comrades in arms to not shoot each other. I can only imagine where the rest of the money goes Illinois and Chicago being as they are.....

It almost all ends up in Chicago and a few other dem tribal areas.
The amount of waste they pour into programs for the chosen ones is ridiculous and the connected elites skim a large part of that off the top by giving contracts to run said programs to fronts that take a taste then pass on a taste to others who launder it for the politicians.
We’re worse than a third world dictatorship in this ILL-State.

Man in ‘peacekeepers’ vest charged with robbing, beating man in Little Village
Police said Oscar Montes and another man were seen on a police surveillance camera striking a man seated in a car late Friday in the 2300 block of South Washtenaw Avenue.

A man in a neon “peacekeepers” vest beat up and robbed a man in Little Village on Friday night, police said, as dozens of violence prevention workers fanned out across Chicago over the Memorial Day weekend.
Oscar Montes, 31, was in a group of seven or eight people that pulled a man from a car and punched and kicked him on the ground in the 2300 block of South Washtenaw Avenue, Cook County prosecutors said in a Sunday bond hearing.
Montes took the man’s cellphone and struck him over the head with it, and another person stole the man’s wallet, prosecutors said.
The man’s face and ribs were fractured, and his eye was damaged to the point that he suffered partial blindness, prosecutors said.
Officers watching the attack on video from a police surveillance camera dispatched officers who were nearby tending a large crowd, prosecutors said. Montes was allegedly seen by officers throwing the stolen cellphone in the street as he left.
When officers arrived, they saw Montes walking away and trying to take off a neon vest that read “peacekeepers,” according to a police report. No one in court Sunday mentioned a peacekeepers vest or a connection to an anti-violence organization.
It’s unclear which violence prevention organization, if any, Montes was working for.
A spokeswoman for Enlace, the violence prevention group that provides peacekeepers in Little Village, said the group would provide a statement but it had not by Sunday afternoon.
Montes was held on no bail by Judge Maryam Ahmad on charges of aggravated battery, robbery and vehicular invasion.
Montes’ assistant public defender questioned how well police could have identified him in the dark during the time of the attack, at 11:15 p.m. But the judge said she was familiar with the area, and how well-lighted the street is below the police surveillance camera where the attack occurred.
He was released from an Illinois prison last May following an aggravated discharge of a firearm conviction. In that case, from 2012, prosecutors charged him with attempted murder. But Montes accepted a plea deal of 12 years in prison for just the discharge charge.

More than 500 people have been hired as peacekeepers, trained to de-escalate violence in Chicago as part of a state-funded, $11 million anti-violence program. The peacekeepers belong to more than a dozen community violence prevention groups.
Gov. J.B. Pritzker authorized funding the anti-violence strategy in 2021 when he signed the Reimagine Public Safety Act, creating the state Office of Firearm Violence Prevention. Funding for the program is expected to rise to $30 million next year.
Most participants in the peacekeepers program are not full-time outreach workers with salaries. They’re recruited in violent neighborhoods and get a $100 daily stipend. Some in the program still have connections in the gang world.
Peacekeepers and people involved in anti-violence programs are sometimes targets of violence. Two peacekeepers were wounded — one shot, one stabbed — between February and April this year, according to a study by the Center for Neighborhood Engaged Research & Science.
Earlier in May, a participant of the violence prevention group CRED was fatally shot while walking in the parking lot of its Roseland outreach center.

The danes and danegeld with England's Vorgeren Housecarl 900 years ago. Been there and done that. Bribing vikings and gang bangers doesn't work. Never has and never will. And that DRIVEL about communities being traumatized spewed by the MARXIST MAYOR is worth another largd batch of dead give mes.
You all watch the mayor will make a big push for gun safe storage. Anybody who lea ves a gun open with a 2 year kid in the area is too stupid to reproduce.

Well yeah - that fluorescent yellow reflective sort of gives you away - that's it's purpose.
Judge has gotten the word - protect membership incompetence and official malfeasance - and don't allow court mention of any connection to a "hinky" quazi-governmental group of "social workers" be critiqued for "standards."
I will opine, to be a warrior you have to know war. And one doesn't critique the acumen of a live mercenary.
The dead mercenaries you can critique.
The city's mistake was in not offering a high enough bounty. It HAS to exceed that garnered in rape & pillage.
