Breaking news: After a teen was shot and killed near The Bean, Mayor Lori Lightfoot has banned unaccompanied minors from visiting Millennium Park after 6 p.m. from Thursday through Sunday.
That decision provoked fierce criticism from residents who said the city was making downtown inhospitable to Black and brown residents from the South and West Side, though Lightfoot defended the bridge raising as necessary to prevent civil unrest.“Tragically, a young person — a teenager — lost his life last night in Millennium Park. I suspect an overwhelming majority of the youth who were in the Park were there to have a good time and enjoy a summer evening.
The shooting happened about 7:30 p.m. in the 200 block of East Randolph Street. Around the same time, police were responding “in the area of downtown and Millennium Park” — to what they deemed a large crowd “disturbance” — which led to the arrest of dozens of juveniles, two injured police officers and seven recovered guns. Two of those guns were in the possession of the two people who were still being questioned by detectives Sunday afternoon in connection with the homicide at The Bean.
But the police report suggests Holliday and the shooter were among a group of teens. The report, citing police and Park District video surveillance which captured the shooting, said: “The victim, along with numerous other individuals, appear to be in an altercation with the ... near The Bean in Millennium Park.
The gun the second man pulled from his waistband was a ghost gun, meaning it does not have a serial number and can’t be traced, according to the police report. The term applies to guns that often are assembled from kits, frequently sold online, without buyers needing to go through background checks — a standard requirement for buyers when purchasing regular guns from a federally licensed firearms dealer.
