June 15, 2011 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- A 15-year-old boy was mugged at gunpoint and struck on the head by a group of teens near the Ogilvie Transportation Center in the West Loop on Tuesday evening.
The incident happened about 6:30 p.m. near an alley at 101 N. Clinton St., according to police News Affairs Officer John Mirabelli.
The victim was approached by a group of seven male teens, Mirabelli said.
One, who was armed with a handgun, approached the victim and demanded his money, according to police. A second teen struck the victim on the back of his head, Mirabelli said.
The group got the boy's cell phone, cash and a bus card, police said.
Police are asking that anyone who may have seen the robbery and can provide a description of the offenders call Belmont Area detectives. Additionally, if anyone sees someone matching the description of the suspects, they should call police.
The offender with the gun was described as a black male with a dark complexion, about 19, 6-foot-1 and 170 pounds with brown eyes and black hair in dreadlocks.
The offender who struck the boy in the head was described as a black male between 15 and 18 with brown eyes and black hair, also in dreadlocks. He is about 5-foot-11 and 150 pounds, and was wearing dark blue jean shorts and a T-shirt that had the word "ENYCE" in rhinestones, Mirabellli said.
The other offenders were described only as black males believed to be in their teens.
No one was in custody as of late Wednesday morning, and Belmont Area detectives are investigating.
This incident is at least the tenth similar attack in the downtown area since the beginning of the month.

Isn’t that odd, criminals having guns - don’t they know that’s against the LAW?
/sarc.
What has changed is the violence is now organized (flash mobs), and it has migrated from the Southside to the Gold Coast areas.
The slaves in Texas weren’t informed they were free until June 19th. That used to be a Texas holiday. Then blacks all over found out they might get a day off....if they are lucky enough to have a job.
Public hangings might slow this down. Future consequences mean nothing to those that can’t comprehend actions have consequences.
Hobbes is proving to be accurate in post WASP America.
Maybe the stories are only coming out now? I can’t believe this just started a couple of months ago.
FWIW, I think Rahm Emmanuel has actually been trying to stop these things, which may be why there’s a sudden upsurge in their reporting.
Rahm’s gotta get money some how!
“The incident happened about 6:30 p.m. near an alley at 101 N. Clinton St., according to police News Affairs Officer John Mirabelli.”
Well, since the incident took place about 6:30 PM the boys had to have something else to do before “Midnight Basketball?”
All species have subspecies... in some species the subspecies appears to be the dominate one.
I think I’ll Barbeque that day, any occasion to
que is as good as another. Happy Juneteenth to
everyone.
BBBT I thought Chicago was a “gun free” zone..
Huh?
I seem to have missed the reports of white gangs doing this.
Blacks come in a lot of shades, and I think that the description spelled out the particular perp's coloration.
It was going on pre Rahm. Hopefully he’ll get a handle on it. Concealed carry would help, but that’s only me speaking. The authorities would tell you the worst thing you can do when attacked is defend yourself.
Emanuel’s fault!!!!
And it's that migration that's getting the media's attention.
But not to worry because...
Emanuel confident in city's plan to prevent more mob attacks
A recent episode feature a ‘falsh mob’ raiding a convenience store, while a ‘handler’ held the door open with a cell phone in his hand. Make no mistake, these are training exercises for a planned application of mob mentailty when the law rejects the sonofabitch in the Wite House, OR when the American people refuse to take that final stroll tot he chambers the gloablists have arranged for US.
