Working-class father shot and killed in broad daylight
May 12, 2024A young father walking to work on Friday was shot and killed by what police say was a robber “dressed in all black.” The harrowing incident took place in a predominantly White neighborhood in Northwest Chicago and was captured on a RING doorbell camera.
- Chicago Police canvassed the area on Friday in search of clues after a 24-year-old man was shot walking to a bus stop in Chicago’s 55% White Dunning neighborhood, an area known as a hub for working-class families. The victim was said to have another child on the way.
- Ring doorbell footage captured the exact moments the apparently White victim is accosted by another man dressed in Black clothing. Police said the victim was robbed before an unidentified suspect fled the scene. The victim can be heard gasping for help as he lies powerless on the concrete.
- A female neighbor of the victim interviewed by CBS2 said she rushed to his aid, using a sweatshirt to try to stop the bleeding. After being transported to Loyola University Medical Center, he died of his wounds. So far, both the victim and the suspects have been unidentified.
RING Doorbell footage shows what appears to be a White victim screaming for help in the aftermath of a shooting in Chicago’s north side.
This story is developing, and the Justice Report will provide additional information as it becomes available.
What they’re saying: The neighbor who helped the victim broke down in tears as she recalled his final moments to a local news crew. She chose to remain anonymous out of personal safety, but others, including Alderman Nick Sposato, say crime in the area has only increased.
- “I’m so sorry that he didn’t make it, and I wish you would’ve and to see your children grow. I feel so bad. I know he’s got a baby and one on the way, and I’ve got children. And I tried to keep him alive for his kids. That’s all I was trying to do.”
- “Just a brutal thing, brutal video. A kid going to work to provide for his family, and some scumbag guns him down,” said Alderman Nick Sposato.
- A spokesman with the Chicago Police Department later confirmed that two people are now in custody for their alleged role in the shooting, but have not released their identities.

- So far, two people have been killed and ten others injured from gun-related violence in Chicago this weekend alone. The ages of the victims range from 19 to 40, according to reports..
- On Thursday night, a group of armed robbers targeted multiple fast-food eateries and liquor stores for quick cash across the city’s North Side. Police said shots were exchanged in one of the incidents, which culminated in a total of six armed robbery incidents still being investigated.
- According to estimates maintained by the US Census Bureau in 2021, the city of Chicago remains a minority-majority hub, as the White population is only 32.91% Non-Hispanic White.
- The White-Papers Policy Institute, which tracks the racial replacement of White people from their native homelands, states that Illinois was once 83.5% White in 1970. Top-down and intrinsically Anti-White policy decisions have given way to a drastic demographic shift, however, and now only 60.4% of the population is listed as White per the most recent reports.
