Teen robbed at gunpoint on Chicago's Far North Side

A teenage boy’s coat and cell phone were stolen during an armed robbery in Chicago’s Far North Side West Ridge, West Rogers neighborhood, said police.

Citing police communications, the incident occurred around 8:45 p.m. in an alley behind the 3000 block of West Devon Avenue, near Devon and Troy.

Investigators said a black male in his 20s, wearing a black sweater with a red stripe and two large earrings, brandished a gun and stole the victim’s fur-lined coat and a black Samsung cell phone.

The thief was last seen running northbound on Troy from Devon, said police.

After the robbery, the victim, along with another male, ran to Devon Food & Liquor, 3044 West Devon Avenue, and asked for help.

At 8:54 p.m., police were searching for the suspect on the 6500 block of North Albany.

As of 9:38 p.m., the thief, who was apparently armed with a “glock nine,” was still at large.

According to an eyewitness, who spoke exclusively to Chicago News Report, the victim appeared to be 13 or 14-years-old.

  1. Well, since Chicago banned any "assault weapon" with more than 12 rounds in a magazine, and most of the 9mm Glock's have more than 12 by default, how could this possibly have happened? Its alsmot like criminals ignore the gun laws, no matter what they are!

    If thats true, then banning "assault weapons" nationwide seems like it would just ensure criminals have better weapons than we do...

  2. The only safe neighborhood in Chicago is Jefferson Park, because that's where all the police officers live.

    I live in Minneapolis now. Same problems as Chicago, tho on a smaller scale. But both cities have rapidly deteriorated over the past fifty years. Minneapolis "welcomed" gangbangers with welfare handouts, and attracted the worst of the worst from Chicago, Detroit, and Gary.

  3. Jefferson Park is now a shitshow as well. Gladstone Park is slowly turning to shit. Norwood and Edison Park are still beautiful. Thats where most of the cops, firemen, and higher up city officials live, oh and people that work! Eventually it will all turn to shit because we pay scum to reproduce, consistently reward bad behavior, and coddle career criminals. Eventually there will be no safe neighborhood. Good day

  5. Chi- town gangsters don't care. They just want to rob what they can't afford, everything.. Gun control is senseless..no 1 cares about the law. I lived in Rogers park, Jonquil n Juneway right near triangle park in the late 80s..it slowly turned into a trashed neighborhood.. These people/ gangsters can't fight on there own so they need there boyfriends or there guns to do so.. If these people r busy slang in drugs y would they have to rob people..its all dumb...all u thugs need to learn how to read n get a job.. Quit banging your boyfriends arent going to visit u when your locked up or dead...get a life.
