Chicago police and fire personnel were called to the scene of a tragic incident on Saturday evening, where they discovered a man shot to death on the first block of West 125th Street. The victim, who had suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the neck, was pronounced dead at the scene. Despite efforts to identify the man and determine his age, the killer remains at large.

According to a witness, a silver SUV was seen leaving the area, but no shell casings were found at the scene. It is worth noting that the street was previously monitored by the city’s ShotSpotter network, a gunfire detection system that had been a topic of debate in the city council.

Alderman Anthony Beale, who represents the area where the man was found, had been a vocal supporter of the ShotSpotter network. He had advocated for its continued use, along with a majority of the city council, despite opposition from Mayor Brandon Johnson. In fact, Beale had criticized the mayor for dismantling the system, stating that it left the city vulnerable to such incidents.

Tragically, just hours after the first shooting, another man was found fatally shot in the intersection of 100th Street and Indianapolis Boulevard, an area also previously monitored by ShotSpotter. These incidents highlight the potential benefits of technology in aiding police investigations and potentially preventing such tragedies.

The termination of the city’s relationship with ShotSpotter on September 23, 2024, has sparked controversy and debate. Mayor Brandon Johnson’s decision to dismantle the system despite opposition from many quarters has led to concerns about public safety and the effectiveness of law enforcement efforts.

In light of these developments, a new reporting series titled “Brandon’s Bodies” aims to document cases of shooting victims and police investigations that could have benefited from gunshot detection technology. By highlighting instances where such technology could have made a difference, the series seeks to raise awareness about the importance of utilizing all available tools in combating gun violence and ensuring public safety.
