At approximately 3:54 a.m., a cabdriver heard a man calling for the police near the intersection of West Chicago Avenue and North Kingsbury Street.
About two minutes later, around 3:56 a.m., responding officers located the victim a block east of the aforementioned location at Chicago and Hudson Avenues.

ReplyDeleteI live near Cabrini Green area. We purchased our condo few years ago. We both work full-time. I constantly see those people from the row houses.
