Chicago police to beef up CTA patrols after 4 homicides overnight, including man slain on Red Line

A 29-year-old man was shot and killed while riding on a Red Line train early Saturday on the South Side and the Chicago Police Department said they will be increasing their presence on the CTA as soon as Sunday.

The Red Line attack was a “senseless act of violence that has no place anywhere in the city, and especially not on the CTA,” said President Dorval Carter Jr. during a news conference Saturday afternoon at police headquarters in the South Loop.

The CTA is doing “everything they can to stem these egregious acts of violence,” Carter added.
