According to the Chicago Police Department, an 18-year-old man has been taken into custody and charged with two felonies: armed robbery with a firearm and aggravated vehicular hijacking with a firearm. The official statement states that the person was apprehended on November 19, 2024, after being found in the 6000 block of S. Western Ave.
The perpetrator, who was a minor at the time, is accused of participating in the violent seizure of a car and other personal property from a 27-year-old male on October 21, 2024, while he was brandishing a gun. This crime occurred in the 8th District, close to the 2500 block of W. 64th St. The seriousness of the charges is unaffected because they entail the threat of violence with a firearm, even when the defendant is charged as a minor.
The circumstances surrounding the arrest and the details of the actual heist have not yet been made public by the police. It’s unknown if there are any more suspects or accomplices connected to the crime, and the inquiry seems to be still underway.
