A man was shot dead Sunday morning in the Uptown neighborhood on the North Side.

Dennis Thomas Jr., 33, was sitting in a vehicle about 8:10 a.m. in the 4600 block of North Clifton when someone pulled up on a bicycle and shot him several times, according to Chicago police and the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Thomas was pronounced dead at the scene, authorities said. He lived in the same block where he was shot.

The shooter then rode off in an unknown direction, police said.

Area North detectives were conducting a homicide investigation.

Happens time to time in SoCal

Makes a lot of sense for anonymity

Yes, “biker” is associated with motorcycles...
...just as “cyclist” is associated with ignorant, spandex-clad, traffic sign-ignoring homosexuals
...and “bike rider” or “bicyclist” would associate with your average Schwinn beach cruiser.

Yes, the same kind of “accident” that the Witch’s enemies so often suffer.

I think we are seeing the beginning of a trend. That’s twice recently including the doctor/professor in Cali. These guys are almost never caught.

Uptown - it’s been an up and coming neighborhood for the last 70 years and will be for the next 70.

Amish around here, (the real kind), use a rubber tire wagon bed or open horse trailer with a shell camper on it, pulled by a tractor. Inside are seats for Amish women and kids.
