Because keeping criminals in jail is unfair. Man escaped from electronic monitoring to kill the only witness in a pending murder case, prosecutors say - CWB Chicago
When two men killed another man inside Mutasim Sulieman’s convenience store in 2016, Sulieman was the only eyewitness. Prosecutors eventually charged two men with the slaying, and on May 1, 2019, attorneys told the judge overseeing the case that they were ready for trial.
Three days later, Sulieman locked up his store and headed toward his car. He didn’t make it because a masked man walked up behind him and shot him dead.
It was a contract killing arranged between one of the guys in jail for the original murder, and a guy who was on electronic monitoring for a gun case.

This is part of what CWB Chicago calls The “not horrible” series.
This report continues our coverage of individuals accused of killing, shooting, or trying to kill or shoot others while on bond for a pending felony case. CWBChicago began our series of reports in November 2019 after Cook County Chief Judge Timothy Evans publicly stated, “we haven’t had any horrible incidents occur” under the court’s bond reform initiative.
