CWB Chicago has the count at 14. Yet another murder victim found lying on a street previously monitored by ShotSpotter
14 people found lying in the street. Could any of these people have been saved by quick response from police and EMTs? We may never know. At least one body had been lying in an alley for 2 days.
This is the most recent incident.
A 911 caller reported that a man was laid out in the street in the first block of West 125th Street around 7 p.m. According to CPD, he was pronounced dead at the scene from a gunshot wound to the neck.
Not the only incident.
Several hours after the victim was found lying in 125th Street, another man was found fatally shot in the intersection of 100th Street and Indianapolis Boulevard. ShotSpotter previously monitored that area as well.
Why is CWB Chicago keeping count? Because a lot of people in the city were opposed to terminating the contract. Indeed two thirds of the city council wanted to keep it, but couldn't in the face of the mayor's opposition.
As of 12:01 a.m. on September 23, 2024, Chicago terminated its relationship with ShotSpotter, a gunfire detection system deployed in 12 of the city’s most violence-impacted neighborhoods.
