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.

Inexplicable to those who believe that if anyone is given the chance, they will all behave sinlessly(or altrustically if one is an atheist).
Immature , childish morons for “leaders”...voters want government assistance all the time and in all aspects of their life...voluntary slaves..

Hopefully the killer’s gun was registered with Chicago officials. /sarc


I don’t believe Chicago or IL have gun registration per se, but resident possessing a firearm or wishing to purchase ammunition must have a state-issued FOID card. This law prevents criminals from possessing firearms and is one reason why ‘gun crime’ is so low in the state. It would, no doubt be lower except for the ‘insanely lax gun laws’ in Indiana. /s

Could be, but I’m not a believer in that hypothesis, and the genetic data doesn’t really seem to back it up.

“I’m just going to call myself “a BIPOC” from now on...”

Just don’t let the AI spell it BiPOC. That’d be something different.

Please explain to me why somebody who murders four innocent strangers in cold blood deserves to be still breathing?

Surprise, surprise, surprise...this wouldn’t have happened in Memphis because they removed all of the Confederate monuments that angered all of the blacks.

Oh, wait ... only for law abiding citizens ... never mind.

At least the various African countries actually punish their criminals.

Black is the absence of color, White is the mixture of all colors.🤔

“At least the various African countries actually punish their criminals.”

That is very true, and the reason is rather simple. Since blacks there are the dominant group, they are the ones in power and set the rules. And if someone breaks those rules they can’t blame whitey for oppressing them and thus be excused for their behavior.

Whereas here we provide the black thugs with a thousand excuses and tales of untold oppression and racism for their criminal behavior.

And those excuses are also used by blacks who occupy the lower rungs of society, to get whitey to pony up endless bennies to atone for their manufactured sins.

This is about as disfunctional as any “marriage” could possibly get, and it’s only going to get worse. Best solution is a friendly divorce - let each side go their own way.

Excellent analysis! Not really a cohesive country anymore.
