Marcus Dixon, Uptown shooter who fired at pedestrians, fled on CTA bus, has quite a resume


There are two things that are immediately clear: Marcus M. Dixon isn't very smart and he likes to spend time in jail.

On February 14, 2014, 22-year-old Marcus M. Dixon, allegedly from Joliet, Illinois, shared a unique Valentine's Day gift with Chicago's Uptown residents: The gift of fear. 

According to several news reports, Dixon whipped out a semi-automatic pistol at the CTA Red Line Wilson "L" station and randomly fired at pedestrians. 

The brazen act of violence occurred around 6:40 p.m., while many North Siders were making their way home from work. 

Although one neighborhood blog reported the gunman shot someone... officials later confirmed there were no injuries. 

After firing several rounds at frightened, unarmed citizens, Dixon fled the scene southbound on a # 36 Broadway bus. 

Authorities apprehended the offender in Lakeview at Broadway and Sheridan. 

In addition to the gunman's weapon, police also confiscated live ammunition, said local media.  

Although it has not been confirmed, CRN believes Dixon was planning to hide out at the Center on Halsted... a facility that has been known to attract criminals. 

Through a Chicago News Report investigation, CNR discovered Dixon has a criminal record dating back to at least 2010. 

More than three years ago, Dixon, who has the word "Betty" tattooed on his chest (smile), was arrested in Cook County for attempted burglary. 

Court records indicate Dixon was sentenced to three years. 

Obviously, he did not serve his entire sentence, because on May 7, 2013, Dixon was booked for yet another crime... retail theft. 

At the time of this report, the outcome of the 2013 case was unclear. 

Chicago News Report knows this may be of little consolation to the shooter's victims, but there was a time when Dixon appeared to be less menacing. 

Here's an alleged photo of Dixon when he was approximately 5 or 6-years-old.

  1. Every news report out there says he fired straight up in the air then straight down at the ground. But good job posting the pic of him as a toddler. That's excellent reporting Tim. Top notch.

  5. Firing in the air is dangerous and stupid; even if the offender wasn't trying to hit anyone, bullets can still injure or kill people or damage property when they come down. Same deal firing at the ground- a bystander can be struck if the bullet ricochets. If the news reports are true he can still be brought up on criminal negligence charges, for illegal discharge of a firearm, or similar.

    just pointing out that this so called news site makes wild claims about the offender shooting at random pedestrians and it isn't true. You'd think if you were trying to be a journalist you'd have the tiniest bit of integrity.

    Yes, firing a gun straight up in the air is stupid and dangerous. That's common sense to us white people.

  7. The usual feel-good bleeding heart liberals over at Uptown Update are commenting that these thugs just need hugs and understanding.
    The sooner we all embrace the fact that the savage negro race needs to be repatriated to somewhere where they can't get back to prey upon humans, the better off we'll be.
    Brian Gilbert, you've been demanding that Timmy end this blog for years, but you jump on every new post within hours, hard pud in hand, ready to jack it while posting about your anti-gentrification warrior ways. Has Stacy filed for divorce yet?

  12. Do you know who else isn't very smart?

    Brian Gilbert. AKA FGFM.

    We've added two of his earlier videos with his silly voice to make it more clear who he really is. He deleted the videos, but WE saved them. We've saved more, but those will come later.

    Cheers.

  13. Hey Fitz if I send you some photos of Brian to have a squiz at will you create a whole topic around the outing of Brian? He can delete his videos and more, but we think we've saved nearly everything he has ever put on the web. At least under his FGFM moniker.

  14. I think that Fitz finally met someone who shares his high journalistic standards. All the same, I'm not Brian Gilbert.

  15. Well my next video will be posting your voice from your work voice mail and comparing to the voice on the videos.

    Gotcha!

  16. I'm not a Brit, Brian. You pissed me off even though we had never interacted before.. and the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so I joined the merry band of FGFM hunters and we're going to torment you until we're satisfied.
    I actually saw your greasy ass at one of the many Uptown events you think you can participate in. You're just jealous that the Cappleguy can be openly gay and happily married, while you have to pretend to be a fish-fucker.

    1. This post tells me that

      a) you attend Uptown "events"
      b) if your enemy was his enemy, you have already been outed as a pathetic keyboard warrior, so now you're desperately trying to draw attention away from yourself
      c) fish fucker? VIRGIN ALERT!

      it shouldn't be too hard to figure out who you are as all your posts reek of anti-social introverted moms basement verbiage. See you soon..

  18. As a Texan who has heard nothing but sheet about Chicago and everybody in it my whole life, on three continents (NA, SA, Asia)... They're right. You are a bunch of ignorant beotches who deserve to be tormented by those of your own making. Yeah, you have a lot of thugs and miscreants doing a lot of dirt. But the thing is: your rents are WAAAAAAY too high, you reward teenaged girls for getting pregnant in high school, you encourage people to hang on to what little bit of security they can get through entitleents, then you mock them for being "what they are". Jobs are scarce and a single income houselhold just can NOT make it without help. I agree that Chicago IS the race-hate capital of America, maybe even the world. How about this: don't gloss over what these little hooligans have been doing for decades. Don't raise taxes and force entitlements on people who don't want or need them (ObamaCare). Create jobs, disband unions, lower taxes, and people will spend money at local businesses thus fostering a Texas-style economy. THEN, when they eff up you can say something about it but I know firsthand just what goes through one's head when day after day after day you wake up knowing you ain't sheet and never will be... It sucks. Pisses one off. Add a set of balls to that and you have a violent catastrophe in the making.

    Brian Gilbert, AKA FGFM, Aka Rudolph Blieferfartz, aka whatever pseudonym he has this week is back at it on twitter, DNAinfo and everything else again.
    Why is it, that you, living on the far edge of Lincoln Park, is so obsessed with a blighted, unrepairable community like Uptown? Are you attracted to the open lifestyle that Cappleman and his husband enjoy, rather than your likely sexless marriage?
    When do you give her a pork-swording when you're constantly searching for "racists" or finding racism when it isn't there?
    Your internet history is so extremely indictative of your severe mental illness I wonder if you have any real-life friends. Who could stand you?
    Leave Uptown to the apes and the "artists" and all the people who sob over the latest busted-arse old house being torn down. Get a life, arsehole.

  27. FGFM/Brian attacks people on twitter, Uptown Update, Chicago Reader, Chicago Sun Times,DNAinfo, anything and anywhere to do with Hitchens and other places. He just comes here and posts racist comments anonymously and then criticizes them as FGFM , because he has to be seen as a righteous, pro-Africoon American type of sperm dumpster.
    He is even gleefully posting screencaps thinking it's just the same guy attacking him when it's many. He's revealing his latest troll ID's over on Facebook by taking screencaps of it.
    Uptown is lost, it's been lost for a long time. Nobody really gives a rat's ass other than the crime is contained within it. I think they should have the red line bypass Lawrence and Wilson and they could just fence it off and let the animals eat each other. At some point, we'll check and see if they're all dead and then reclaim the land.

    1. First of all, stupid, your obsession and long paragraphs only highlight your pathetic obsession with "fgfm". Second, YOU are the only person that cares. Do you have any idea how many trolls are on the internet? probably one million. why do you give a fuck who posts what and where. seriously. unless you can prove "many" people are attacking him, everybody on CNR is going to continue to think its just you and your cheetoh/semen covered keyboard

    FGFM/Brian Gilbert has engaged in a long campaign of harassment against a large group of people, and he is more than a troll at this point.

  32. I thought that the toddler photo was hysterical. I think it should be the new trend. And when a white person is in the news for any reason whatsoever, they should find the absolute worst picture of them possible. To compensate for their white privilege, perhaps even the normal journalism ethics should be suspended (further) to allow for photoshopping of such picture. Mandatory accessories might include a Charlie Chaplin-style mustache, confederate flag cufflinks, and swastika tattoos.
