West Side alley killing renews scrutiny of Mayor Johnson’s decision to pull plug on gunshot detection – CWB Chicago

Data tracked by HeyJackass.com shows that 26 percent of gunshot victims in Chicago have died from their wounds so far this year. But among those who received a delayed emergency response because no one called 911 and ShotSpotter was no longer there to compensate, the fatality rate climbs to nearly 56 percent — more than double the citywide rate.

Might want to bring this up to Ms. Ervin, now desperately seeking your vote, as her husband was one of the main movers in doing away with Spot Shotter. I believe he is the same ex- convict that defaulted on a Maywood property loan with Wells Fargo, resulting in a judgment against him. Said property was known as a crack house and purchased eventually by a Mr. Yancy, who also was involved in the court proceeding.

I assume pointing out the obvious would be called racist.
