Yesterday Chicago Police Department announced that two individuals are in custody in connection with the shooting that occurred on Argyle on Monday afternoon. The investigation is still pending and charges are being reviewed by the State's Attorney's office. We hope to have a further update about this tomorrow in our weekly newsletter.

I want to thank those who have reached out to the police about this incident. The Chicago Police Department will continue their increased presence in the areas of Argyle and Thorndale as we look to improve safety.

I am hosting a meeting with Alderman James Cappleman, Commander Sean Loughran of the 20th Police District, and the new Commander at the 19th District, Chris Pappaioannou, on Wednesday, May 15, 6:30pm, at Furama, 4936 N. Broadway. Please attend this meeting for more information on recent gun violence in Uptown as well as ways to get involved in our offices' summer safety initiatives.

If you have any questions, please contact Alan Oviedo, Public Safety Liaison in my office, at alan@48thward.org or 773-784-5277.
