Deangelo Norwood had been in the hospital for three days when the detectives appeared, asking questions about the man who had shot him in the stomach, chest and wrist.
“Is this the guy?” they asked, holding up a grainy photo. Could be, Norwood said, but he didn’t know the guy and, to be honest, he hadn’t gotten a good look.
Nearly a month later, no one has been arrested for the July 30 shooting outside a Chicago liquor store that severely injured Norwood, 30, and killed his brother, Omar, 35.

Yet the growing death toll obscures a far larger group of victims — more than 1,600 people who, like Norwood, have been shot this year and survived. While homicides routinely go unsolved here, the perpetrators of nonfatal shootings are even less likely to be brought to justice.
Since 2010, Chicago police have made arrests in only about 27 percent of homicides, according to a Washington Post analysis of homicide data in more than 50 major U.S. cities — the lowest rate of any city The Post examined."
Chicago has some of the strictest gun control laws in the country.
And they have the Obama legacy.
You can’t solve a shooting, if you’re not willing to talk and give as much information as possible.
What was it Obama cried over again? It sure wasn’t this.
You have to have some clues...plus the police probably donot care because the guy will be back on the street...
Oh. Thought this was another FBI/DOJ/Deep State story...
Chicago police homicide clearance rate remains low
Low is an understatement.
I wonder how many people the perp will shoot before he himself is shot. We should go full-on Green Beret on places like south Chicago.
‘Ain’t nobody with any sense that would stay in an area like that.
I thought this was another Hilliary thread..............
What does he expect from Chicago?
same here
I thought this was going to be a Sessions story from the headline.
What many people don’t realize is that many times the shooter is already dead by other “extra judicial means before they are ever identified as a suspect by police.
Arrests are not necessary for case clearance.
Wow, if I ever get a hankerin’ go kill somebody, I’m going to Shitcago.
The odds are great!
