Lightfoot unveils plans to curb summer violence, focus on 15 high-violence beats

Facing pressure to reduce skyrocketing Chicago violence, Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Friday said her administration will focus this summer on 15 police beats that she said account for a major chunk of the city’s street crime. Police will work in these areas but the city also will team up with community groups, libraries, and other providers to mentor young people as part of Lightfoot’s summer strategy, mirroring her administration’s previous approach to Chicago violence. The beats are largely concentrated on the South and West Sides, ranging from Austin, North Lawndale and West Humboldt Park to South Chicago, Roseland and Auburn Gresham.

Chicago finishes 2020 with 769 homicides as shootings spike

Fatal shootings rose by 53%, with December shootings totaling 50, compared with just 19 a year earlier. According to the Cook County Medical Examiner s office, 78% of the gun violence victims were Black. The county also reported a record 16,049 total deaths in 2020 a huge jump largely due to coronavirus fatalities. In May, Chicago experienced its deadliest Memorial Day weekend in five years, with 49 people shot 10 of them fatally. On May 31 alone, there were 18 homicides, more than any single day in memory, according to The Associated Press. The increase in violent crime has been blamed on myriad factors, including the stress of the COVID-19 pandemic, state and local restrictions, an unprecedented economic crisis, and the deaths of Black men and women at the hands of law enforcement.
