Lakeview robber shoves gun in woman’s stomach, says cops

A woman was robbed at gunpoint in Chicago’s North Side Lakeview neighborhood, said police.

At approximately 9:25 p.m., a woman was walking home on the 1400 block of West Byron Street, between Janssen and Greenview, when a mugger put a gun in her stomach and demanded her purse, said authorities. 

The thief was described as a tall, black male, 25 to 30-years-old, with a thin build.

The suspect was wearing a white T-shirt and red plaid shorts.

Investigators said the robber stole a black leather purse containing the victim's cell phone, ID, and various credit cards.

According to an initial police dispatch report, the offender may have fled the scene in a white vehicle that was double-parked in the area.

If you have any information regarding this crime, please contact the police, immediately.

  1. Thank you CNR for providing a description of the criminal. This story will probably not get aired by the media, and if it does they will not provide a description in fear they might offend some people.

  2. 930pm on a Tuesday, a predator hunts on one of the nicest blocks you will find anywhere in the city.

    Whatever you do LV citizens, please don't profile.

  5. Isn't this right about where the guy got his throat slashed too? Is there that "all White people are rich and entitled" fallacy going on here too? Or is it just hatred? I mean nothing was taken from the guy that got cut.

  8. yet another incident that probably never would have happened if this state would pass conceal carry legislation. Illinois is the ONLY state without a provision for carry.

    It is a FACT that violent crime rates drop the instant such legislation is passed. That's why the other 49 states, including those that are more liberal/anti-gun has them.

    Illionis wants us fearful becuase they want us dependant.

    conceal carry now!
