Two cases of attempted murder. #3: She tried to kill a woman while on bail for trying to kill yet another woman, prosecutors say - CWB Chicago
Prosecutors accused a Chicago woman on Thursday of trying to shoot and kill another woman while on bail for a pending attempted murder case that involves nearly identical allegations. Tajada Johnson, 40, is the third person with a pending felony case to be accused of killing or trying to kill someone in Chicago this year.
And the 2nd instance: #4: Man charged with killing woman while on felony bail after Chicago cops gather a mountain of video evidence, prosecutors say
Chicago police officers who responded to a ShotSpotter gunfire detection alert last week found a 43-year-old woman dead in a South Side alley. On Friday, prosecutors charged a man with her murder.
Mario Fullilove, 25, was ordered held without bail by Judge William Fahy on a charge of first-degree murder. Fullilove had been on bail for a pending burglary case
There is a breakdown of the full statistics if you click thru.
The actual number of murders and shootings committed by people on felony bail is undoubtedly much higher than the numbers seen here. Since 2017, CPD has brought charges in less than 5% of non-fatal shootings and 33% of murders, according to the city’s data.
