A 24-year-old Chicago man on electronic monitoring for charges tied to a stolen car and aggravated fleeing has been charged in the shooting death of 24-year-old Marcus Robinson.
Three days before Christmas Robinson was shot 39 times when five men opened fire on him.
CWB Chicago reported that Fred Taylor is believed to have been one of the gunmen, all of whom allegedly stepped out of a stolen car on December 22, 2022, and opened fire on Robinson.
Taylor is “the 59th person accused of killing or shooting—or trying to kill or shoot—someone in Chicago last year while having a felony case pending.”
Bretibart News noted at least 55 people were shot during Father’s Day weekend alone in Chicago, seven of them fatally. At least 32 people were shot, three of them fatally, the weekend prior to Father’s Day in Chicago.
The Chicago Sun-Times pointed out that 269 people were killed in Chicago January 1, 2023, through June 22, 2023.
