A dispute over a ride-share driver being stiffed on a fare led to a scuffle with the rider that ended with a volley of gunfire Saturday night inside a South Loop movie theater, prosecutors said.
When they arrived, the teen hopped out of the vehicle without paying, followed by his companions. Mbengue followed the group into the theater and grappled with the teen, Dale-Schmidt said. During the scuffle, a loaded 9 mm handgun with an extended magazine fell from the teen’s pocket and the pair struggled to get the weapon, she added.
Video surveillance inside the theater captured Mbengue chase after the teen and the tussle but not the shooting, Dale-Schmidt said. But the judge lambasted Mbengue’s response to what she called a minor incident, saying it offered a grave threat to the public. “The risk to the public is so substantial in this case, to fire a gun. It’s illegal to say fire in a theater, let alone to shoot up a theater!” Ahmad said in a hushed courtroom.
