The location of the shooting on Ontario Street just a few feet away from North Michigan Avenue — the city’s marquee shopping district — stunned Chicago aldermen.

“When you start having that [violence] in a place where people generally feel safe, that’s when we start becoming Detroit,” said one alderman, who asked to remain annonymous.
The shooting occurred at 12:33 a.m. The 31-year-old victim was standing outside his vehicle when someone in a sport-utility vehicle pulled up, asked what his gang affiliation is and opened fire, hitting him in the abdomen, according to the police.
