A Cook County judge ordered a Chicago firefighter facing felony charges, including attempted murder, in connection with an off-duty road rage shooting last weekend released on electronic monitoring.
Judge Susana Ortiz said that although she didn’t believe there was a legally justifiable reason for Omotayo Kassim to shoot a man with whom he was involved in a minor traffic accident, she said she believed it was “an isolated incident” and monitoring was enough to ensure his return to court and the protection of the community.
