The 49-year-old homeless man was killed by three teenage ‘migrants’ in Chicago, with the suspects being a 14-year-old boy charged with felony murder, another 14-year-old with armed robbery, and Wuinayker Rodriguez-Vasquez, 16, charged as an adult with first-degree murder and mob action. The victim was found sleeping with his pet cat and possessions, including a skeleton mask, when the group approached him. The court heard that one teen stole the mask before fleeing, while Rodriguez-Vasquez and another 14-year-old stayed behind. The latter struck the victim with a metal rod, and Rodriguez-Vasquez stabbed him once in the back. The judge condemned the attack as “completely senseless” with no reason.
President Trump addressed the rising violent crime in Chicago, calling it “out of control,” and criticized liberal judges for letting repeat offenders out on bond despite prosecutors’s calls to incarcerate them. He urged Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson to allow National Guard troops deployment to tackle crime, citing recent violent incidents including a woman set on fire and shootings in downtown Chicago. Trump has sought federal troop deployments in cities like Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and Memphis, claiming those actions reduced crime.
