A Cook County judge denied bail Sunday for a 21-year-old man accused of carrying out “a massacre” three days earlier that left two people dead and seven others wounded in a flurry of gunfire just blocks from the Magnificent Mile.
Thursday’s mass shooting came amid a spate of violence downtown that has prompted heightened concerns over public safety in the heart of the city and left Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Chicago Police Supt. David Brown on the defensive going into the historically violent summer months.
