Check this out! Shoot-out with 2 dead men and 1 injured in Little Edgewater neighborhood of Chicago!
By Steve Larsen, one of our reporters from Evanston
There was a shootout this weekend in front of the storage locker building in the 6300 block of N. Broadway—just before it turns into N. Sheridan Road at Loyola University…
This neighborhood is one block from Loyola’s north campus, this “Little Edgewater” as I like to call it, in honor of Al Capone and….
It is DEF not the homeless causing all the shooting and murders!
This is one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the city—though nobody wants to admit it…
Very dangerous, full of drugs and full of crime, full of shoplifters who carry goods out of Walgreens and CVS pharmacy and Whole Foods all day long and then sell the stolen goods in various fast-food restaurants while managers watch and ignore the fencing operation…
In April of 2025, a 37-year-old man was shot and killed.
In February of 2025, two men were shot and killed on North Kenmore.
In August of 2024, a 13-year-old boy was shot and killed in this area.
In January of 2024, shooters killed one CPS student, wounding two others in Edgewater… nobody seeing this pattern of gunplay.
The random murderers and crimes and guns make it especially dangerous for the large population of homeless in Little Edgewater because they have “no place to hide…”
