FOREST PARK, Ill. (CBS) — A man was charged Tuesday afternoon in a mass shooting that left four people dead on a CTA Blue Line train in west suburban Forest Park the day before.

Rhanni Davis, 30, of Chicago, was charged with four counts of first-degree murder, according to Forest Park police, who announced charges Tuesday evening along with Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx and Chicago Transit Authority President Dorval Carter.

All four victims were passengers on a Blue Line train as it was headed into the Forest Park terminal when they were shot shortly before 5:30 a.m.

Police said three victims were found dead at the scene. A fourth victim was taken to a local hospital, where they died. Officials had identified two of the victims as of Tuesday afternoon—Simeon Bihesi, a 28-year-old man, and Adrian Collins, a 60-year-old man.

Collins died of a gunshot wound to the abdomen, while Bihesi died of multiple gunshots.

The Cook County Medical Examiner's office said one of the other two victims was a 52-year-old man who remains unidentified pending notification of next of kin, and the other was a 64-year-old woman now identified as Margaret Miller.

What has an elongated cranium, gigantic bulbous nostrils, eats human flesh.

If you guessed a xenomorph, you are wrong. The answer is a pygmy cannibal democrat.

Note the perversion and bastardization of plain language in the headline. We no longer read of shooters, but shootings.

Yes, obviously they were homeless. Homeless treat the CTA trains like a free air conditioned hotel room in the summer.

I’m just going to call myself “a BIPOC” from now on, since, as you say, everyone has a color, and also, everyone is indigenous to somewhere.

Likely because 3 of the victims are men and 1 is a woman, and the reporter doesn’t know exactly which died at the hospital.

That’s the haircut you end up with when you get arrested wearing cornrows and the police have to undo them all to make sure you are not hiding drugs or weapons in them.

Cook County court records list five criminal cases filed against Davis since 2012, all misdemeanors. The most recent charge against was criminal trespass to a vehicle in Riverdale in November 2022. Prosecutors dropped the case two months later, but records show Davis did not appear for that hearing. Davis faced charges of illegal firearm possession in the 3500 block of West 55th Street in February 2021. Prosecutors dropped that case in October 2021. Records show Davis pleaded guilty in September 2020 to disorderly conduct after being arrested outside the former Bloomingdale’s Home & Furniture, 600 North Wabash, during the August 10 looting spree. Judge Robert Kuzas handed down a one-day sentence. In May 2014, police arrested Davis in Boystown under the name James McDavis. After pleading guilty to misdemeanor battery, Davis successfully completed court supervision. Evanston police arrested Davis for retail theft in October 2012, also under the name James McDavis. Records show Davis stopped appearing in court and the matter remained active until prosecutors dropped it following the Bloomingdale’s arrest in 2020.

LOL! Thanks. I didn’t know that. It’s a “beaut!” The kind a tranny would wear if they still have made up their mind all the way yet.

One headline said "Horrific, horrible, inexplicable...

Somehow, I don't think it is at all inexplicable. But we will never know, will we?

My mother had a few suggestions for staying out of trouble. Don’t associate with the type of people who get into trouble. Nothing good happens after midnight so don’t go anywhere after midnight.

I’d add a few more. When I moved to Tallahassee, I watched the police blotter published each day. I’d go by the address where the killing/shooting had taken place. They were generally gas stations; public, well lit, wide open. But they were all within the outer circle road and all after midnight. Conclusion, if you must have gas and it’s after midnight, leave the city.

Stay away from any public transport. Busses, trains and I’ve personally added planes.

If saving the planet by coercing everyone to use public transport was really an objective, then the government would crack down on the racial violence that they themselves initiate. In my opinion the Obama legacy was designed to create racial tension because the public would demand solutions, and we would all be living in something like a Chinese police state. The first part, then tension creation, worked. The second part has mostly failed...at least for now.

Cook County’s brilliant DA has speculated an unknowable motive!

Good information in this report. But maybe Chicago cops will post more.

According to an old NYT science article, every American is an African-American. The only differences are when your ancestors left Africa and where they went first.
