SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Chicago police and transit officials on Saturday pledged additional security for the city’s trains to stem a spike in violent crime after the shooting death of a passenger overnight.
A 29-year-old man, Diuntel Moon, was shot multiple times in the chest and abdomen on a Chicago Transit Authority Red Line train on 79th Street in the Chatham neighborhood about 2 a.m. Saturday, Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown said at a news conference.
Moon was pronounced dead at a hospital. No suspects are in custody, Brown said.
“Senseless gun violence and incidents like these … have no place in this city.
