Chicago police said Monday they had located additional surveillance cameras in the area where "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett allegedly was attacked last week.
Chicago Police Department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said the footage from those cameras was being "downloaded and reviewed." He added that two individuals seen in the area around the time Smollett said he was attacked -- and considered "people of interest" -- had not yet been identified "as homeless or otherwise." Guglielmi previously said investigators would go painstakingly through footage to reconstruct what Smollett said happened to him early on the morning of Jan. 29.
According to an initial police report obtained by Fox News, the 36-year-old Smollett, who is black and openly gay, told officers that he was accosted while walking to his apartment by two men who called him an "Empire f----t [n-word]." Smollett then said the men beat him and poured an "unknown chemical substance" on him, staining his clothes. The report said that when responding officers arrived, Smollett had a white rope draped around his neck, but the report did not specify whether his alleged attackers put the rope there.
The report also says that Smollett initially did not want to report the alleged attack, but his manager did so because "he believed it to be in the best interest."

Yep, if he’s outed as a hoaxer, in cahoots with her campaign, SHE IS TOAST..................
Yep, theyre going to stage a re-creation of the event that did not happen.
I want to see video footage of his manager buying clothesline at a store.
“his manager did so because...”
...they could make hay out of it and take some conservatives down with them.
“as well as do some jail time.”
But that might be nice for him.
Would’ve been better if he tried this in a known Moslem town.
Wow, the PC fireworks and hand-tying. Would’ve been delicious.
(I won’t touch that “go ape” quote...)
He says he left the rope on so as to not tamper with evidence, he wanted the police to see it.
But this article said he wasn’t going to call the police, and his manager insisted.
Another article says he wasn’t going to call the police, and his 200 pound 60-year-old friend insisted.
In either case, if he wasn’t going to report it, why did he preserve “the evidence”? Was he going to just wear the rope for the next few days to make sure everybody understood?
Probably. If they can’t find anything they’ll bury it and then bring it up now and then as “evidence” that Trump supporters are racist.
Like the average commercial today where over half of them are black intact middle class families with a doting father
I suspect they have footage of him putting the clothesline on himself and are holding on to it to get him to confess. I’ve always doubted that 60 seconds gap. It assumes he knew where ALL the cameras were.
Yes, I’m betting he’s on video putting on the ‘noose’ and scratching his own face. The cops are just waiting for the right timing...................
No fair using the word “Fairy” in a sentence about Jussie./s
At least it can be said for Jussie that he doesn’t have a *chink* in his armor.
