Hey, everyone. I have few details on this, but a shooting occurred at Belmont and Monticello about 35 minutes ago, approximately 8:44pm. I first heard word of this when I received two comments about ambulances and squad cars speeding down Kimball, and Milwaukee, towards Belmont. That was at 8:56. So, the details I've gotten are that a man was shot in the head, and one man was grazed. Both victims were taken to Illinois Masonic Hospital. At the scene, a car crashed into three other cars, leading me to believe there was a speed chase involved of some sort. There's one crime scene at 3216 0n Monticello, and another one at Belmont and Kimball.
I'll update this post more as I get more information on it, which will probably be in the morning. Remember, if you have comments or insight regarding this, send them here, or email them to me. And, eyewitness accounts are definitely encouraged.
Update #1, 9:47pm - Here's a report that Chicago News Report has.
Update #2, 12/1/10, 6:41am - The victims were young. The one shot in the head was 16, and the other victim was 18. A source tells me this was a rival gang shooting, and Chicago News Report reports that CPD is excepting a retaliation shooting soon from this one.

Good afternoon, everyone, it's 3:14pm. It's a cold, cloudy afternoon. The temps are falling and there's flurries of snow falling out there.

Good afternoon, everyone, it's 3:10pm. Glad to be home from school. I swear, some days are just drama-filled at Sullivan. It's like the teen version of the Chicago Tribune.

Woman Found Dead In Alley On Homer, Ruled As Homicide
Hey everyone, I've gotten a few reports, including this article from Chicago Breaking News, about a woman being found dead in an alley on the 3100 block of West Homer Street yesterday morning. At 7:30am, police responded to a call of a "person down" in the alley, in which they found, and pronounced as dead. This woman was indentifed as Bozena Straggs, 36, according to Chicago News Report. This would be kind of a normal case, actually, as it is almost winter time in Chicago, and it's getting cold. But the thing that's making me report this to all of you is that the Coroner's office ruled this as a Homicide. They say Straggs was strangled to death.
I have no further information on this, but anyone who does, please put it in the comments section or shoot me an email. And, of course, if you do have information on the circumstances surrounding Stragg's death, I encourage you to contact the 14th District Police at (312)-744-8290. Also, please contact Area 5 Detectives (unfortunately, I have no number for them).
My thoughts and prayers go to all who knew Straggs, and this is sad that this happened.

Tagging Offender Held On Lawndale
Good morning, everyone, it's 12am. It's still cold out, but that'll be so for the rest of the winter. And, on that subject, it's the last week of November already. Wow. Time's gone by fast. So, for it being the last week of November, I'll have Christmas colors starting Wednesday, the 1st of December, all the way until 2011. Anyway, I'll be here most of the day, with the exception when I have to go to the store and run an errand, and the unexpected nap. Here's crime for today.

Commercial Alarm On Harding
Good morning, everyone, it's 8:01am. It's freezing out there! It's only like 19 degrees right now, and it's so cold that I don't want to get out of bed (being under the covers is rather warm). This is the coldest weather I've seen almost all year. Anyway, it's Black Friday, meaning it's time to SHOP for the holidays. I bet at least some of you rushed or are rushing to the mall to buy what you want/need. I've gotten some reports of "stampedes" already occurring at places like the Brickyard Mall (Diversey and Narraganset) and the WalMart on North Ave. Also, I'm going to take a little bit of an extended dinner break this evening (because I didn't take one yesterday) along with a nap right after that, so I can stay up until 5am.

Disturbance On Ridgeway
Good evening, everyone, it's 7pm. It's cold out there. I mean, literally. I definitely felt the cold when I woke up this morning. But the clear skies beats yesterday afternoon's violent storms. Anyway, as I've been saying, today is my two year anniversary of this blog. It's been that long already. I could remember when I was first starting out, which was a real struggle. But you know what? It payed off in the end. Also, I'll be coming home at my regular time tomorrow. Originally, there was a Student Government meeting scheduled for tomorrow after school, but it was rescheduled for next Thursday, the 2nd. So, here's crime for some of this evening.
7:13pm - Disturbance. 2847 N Ridgeway. Two kids playing football, hitting the parked cars, which sets off their alarms. Funny, I don't see or hear anything.
7:15pm - Disturbance w/ a mental. 2537 N Lowell.
7:19pm - Disturbance. 3720 W Fullerton. Something about a guy selling his car to Mexico or something.
7:20pm - I'm going to go until 8:36.
8:36pm - I'm back.
9:00pm - Ok, time for me to hit the bed. Good night, everyone, and once again, thank you for providing me two years of this blog! See you all tomorrow.

Two Years Ago, On This Day...
Today was the day two years ago that I started this blog. Yup. I started it on November 23rd, 2008. It was at 4:30 in the afternoon. At the time, I was trying to figure out what kind of layout I should use for the blog, but more importantly, what kind of information to put up here. So I started the blog, and at the time, I chose only to live-police scan 25, and put Chicago Journal articles up from 14. There was no coverage of 17 whatsoever planned. But in the next few weeks, I realize 14 and 17 also needed the live scanned action. So, then, I decided to blog those two districts only once a month (which still applies, except for 14 in the summer).
This blog grew. More and more people looked at this blog daily, and within the next few months, I had about 200 daily readers. And back then, people made comments so useful, and respectful towards each other. It's not really like that today, but one can dream.
Then came June of 2009, which was a very bad month for my family and I. At the time, the economy sinked so low that it threatened to cut our internet off completey. After all of you read that, you volunteered to help continue the blog. A week later, I switched to Windy City, for the summer. I got a lot of more readers when I made that switch. And my blogging was almost non-stop that summer. If you never caught on my purpose, I switched over in case I needed more readers to help me fund my internet to continue the blog.
In August 2009, I had an interview with Time Out Chicago magazine. That was my first, and so far only (because I've turned all of the others down), interview with the media. I felt great about being interviewed, and that also gained me some more readers. More importantly, it told people about me, and why I do what I do. Then, a month later, I switched my blog back to Blogger, and have been here ever since. I remember a lot of you were so happy when I came back to Blogger, so that made me happy, too.
In the last year, this blog has grown so much. I've been getting more and more comments, and readers, each and every single day, which has benefited a lot of people, I feel. It has benefited the Chicago Police because they get more information on certain crimes by reading this blog (believe me, guys, I've got cops reading this blog). It has benefited you, the reader, because of that, too, but also because you have spread the word and have gotten more people to read this blog. Lastly, it has benefited me. Doing this blog has benefited me because I've established many relationships which I thought were never possible. I have a mostly good relationship with the CPD and my alderman because of the blog, I've gotten better relationships with my teachers at school because of it, and most importantly, I've met SO many good people from doing this blog. Prior to doing this blog, I was always at home (besides going to school). I never went anywhere or did anything. I would just watch TV or do my homework. But in time of doing this blog, I've met many community members, which has gotten me involved with many community meetings. Currently, I'm a member of CAPS, I'm a member of the Avondale Neighborhood Association, I helped form a block club on one block, and I formed a block club of my own.
So, to wrap this up, I would just like to give a special thank you to EVERYONE who reads this blog. Thank you so much for all of your support over these last two years. In particular, I owe a really special "thank you" to Craig Gernhardt, the author of "The Broken Heart of Rogers Park" blog, the Edgewater Community Buzz (formerly Blotter), and my mom (I love you so much!!!). Thanks to these people, I've gotten this blog to where it is today. I owe a special thanks to the people who have read this blog since I first started it. You are my loyal and faithful fans. I also owe a thanks to Brad Flora from Windy Citizen for letting me host my blog on his site last summer. I probably have a ton of other people to thank, but can't remember everyone I need to. So, I'll just say it again: thank you SO MUCH for all of your help and encouragement over the last two years. You don't know how much it means to me, and thanks to all of you, I will be forever grateful for living in the community I live in. Yes, it does have crime and violence, but as I always say, it takes determination to rid of it, and I feel most of you are determined to help me fight this battle. Together, we can change our communities and so much more!
I will continue to provide this service to my community, and your community. I hope this blog lasts for many, many years, even if I don't run it anymore someday.
Thank you for everything, everyone!! I appreciate it so much, and to no end!!
Sincerely,
Timmy

Cars Being Worked On In Garage On Harding
Good morning, everyone, it's 9:28am. It's not so cold today, but it is cloudy. They say we're supposed to have morning drizzle, and it's supposed to remain cloudy. But it is supposed to be rather warm, in the upper 50s, to be exact. Tomorrow, it'll be in the mid 60s with thunderstorms in the afternoon. So we'll see how crime plays out today and tomorrow. Anyway, Tuesday marks two years of this blog. Wow. Can't believe it. Well, here's crime for today.
9:29am - Municipal ordinance violation. 1818 N Harding. Cars being worked on in the garage.
10:10am - Suspicious person. 4054 W Dickens. Two male Blacks in a gray pick-up truck pulled up in the alley and went inside into a building across the alley from this location.
10:36am - Burglar alarm. 4130 W Oakdale.
11:33am - Theft. 3035 N Pulaski. Male Black, brown jacket, black hat and blue jeans just stole merchandise from the AutoZone. He fled towards Barry in a black Honda Civic with a plate of 2741824.
11:51am - 1) Narcotics. Central Park and Milwaukee. Two people in a building doing drugs. 2) An RD number has been pulled from the AutoZone. It's HS625988 with the event number of 06709.
1:26pm - Assault. 2530 N Hamlin. Caller was threatened.
1:41pm - I have to go to the store. I'll be back in a few minutes.
1:50pm - I'm back from the store. But I've got news to share. When I was coming home, I observed three men at Diversey and Ridgeway, by the bar, checking out the brand new gang taggings that just went up as recently as last night. These men are gangbangers. I recognized them, and I'm sure you're all about to know who I'm about to talk about. There was a male White, 18-21 yrs old, 5'8, short blonde hair, black baseball cap, red hoodie and black pants with two male Hispanics in black hoodies. As I said, they were checking out brand new taggings. They went towards George on Ridgeway. Now I believe we're going to have some trouble in this area tonight.
1:56pm - Narcotics. 31X0 N Monitcello. Gangbangers getting high.
2:37pm - Parker. 2300 block of N Avers.
2:42pm - My "call" is dispatched.
3:02pm - Beat car 2523 has a traffic stop at 3034 N Pulaski. And they never came to my call. As a matter of fact, it's coded a 2B0y. It's not the regulars on the car today, so no surprise. Oh well. At least I sent the text and the information was taken. This way no police officers can say no ticket was made for this when we have a shooting later...
3:20pm - Disturbance. 2850 N Lawndale. Kids jumping on a trampoline in the rear of a vacant building that burned down about two months ago.
4:03pm - Parker. 2537 N Hamlin. Thanks to ProdigalOne for getting this while I napped.
4:15pm - Gang disturbance. Armitage and Pulaski. They're throwing up signs and loitering.
4:38pm - Battery. 3853 W Palmer. Caller was struck by three males in their garage.
4:44pm - Assault. 2537 N Lowell. Tenant threatened the landlord. This tenant is a mental. The officers know him well, and this a regular place they go to.
4:45pm - Some call at 2339 N Avers.
4:59pm - Beat car 2523 is recovering a stolen vehicle from 2933 N Harding.
6:46pm - I have to go eat. I'll be back.
7:04pm - I'm back.
7:44pm - Gang disturbance. Armitage and Pulaski. They're on top of pick-up trucks, flashing signs, acting stupid. Doing other foolish things too.
9:07pm - I have to go. I'll be back tomorrow. Good night, everyone

Good morning, everyone, it's 8:56am. I'm monitoring 17 for our good residents North of Belmont. It'll probably be quiet as usual, especially since it's cold out.

Theft @ Wrightwood and Lowell
Good afternoon, everyone, it's 3:10pm. School was good, but yes, tiring. We went on a field trip part of the day to a fire station at Peterson and Clark, to learn more about the service CFD provides to the city of Chicago. I learned a few new things, but I already knew a lot of what they do. The thing that impressed me the most about today's trip was that the station we went to had two calls while we were there. I was told that most stations in Chicago handle 8 to 10 calls a day, while others handle 12 to 14 calls. There's even some (like Engine 91 at Diversey and Pulaski, it seems) that get 15 or more calls a day. Anyway, tomorrow, I'll be here most of the day (except for maybe when I have to go grocery shopping with mom). Here's crime for this afternoon and evening.
