An 18-year-old man was critically injured during a robbery on a Red Line train at the 95th Street station on Saturday night. Chicago police reported that the incident occurred around 10:02 p.m. inside a train car when an unknown male offender demanded the victim’s belongings. The robber then pulled out a gun and shot the victim in the chest and right side.
The victim was rushed to the University of Chicago Hospital for treatment. Surveillance footage revealed that the gunman fled the station with a group of individuals. They were described as Black males wearing ski masks. After leaving the station, they ran east on 95th Street and boarded a northbound bus, possibly a #3 King Drive.
Upon investigation, police discovered shell casings in the train car and a firearm on the L tracks. However, no arrests have been made in connection with the shooting.
