Chicago police Superintendent David Brown renewed his calls Monday for suspects charged with violent crimes to remain in jail pre-trial and expressed concerns about the statewide move to eliminate cash bail beginning next year.
Beginning next January, Illinois willas part of a sweeping criminal justice reform bill Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed into law last year. That means defendants in criminal cases can only be detained before their trials if they are deemed a flight risk or a risk to the community; they would no longer be required to pay a certain amount of money to be released from jail.
But with the summer months coming soon, Brown said his department will soon begin “scaling up” resources and making scheduling adjustments so more officers are available during specific times in anticipation of a possible increase in violent crimes.A 37-year-old man was killed in a drive-by shooting Friday evening in the 4400 block of North Hamlin Avenue. The man was sitting in his vehicle around 7:45 p.m.
Deenihan said a 64-year-old man was cutting grass behind that home and went out front to see what had happened, when he too was shot in the chest and killed. A 20-year-old man was fatally shot Sunday evening. He was standing in the 1200 block of West 73rd Street around 7:45 p.m. when someone inside a red SUV began shooting, striking the man multiple times in the head. He was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center where he died.
