Gov. J.B. Pritzker's office is announcing the arrests of about a dozen people in the last several months for crimes on Chicago-area expressways.
SPRINGFIELD — As Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker tries to fend off Republican rivals who accuse him of being soft on crime, his office is announcing the arrests of about a dozen people in the last several months for crimes on Chicago-area expressways.
In one of the cases, state police arrested a 31-year-old man on Jan. 31 on a murder charge in the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old man almost exactly a year earlier on the Kennedy Expressway near Division Street. Also last month, state police arrested a 19-year-old man on an attempted murder charge for the December shooting of a 32-year-old man on the Bishop Ford Freeway in the south suburbs.
Republicans seeking their party’s nomination to take on Pritzker in November have all used variations of tough-on-crime rhetoric, while the governor has mostly promoted his administration’s efforts to address root causes of violence. In tackling the problem of expressway crime, state police investigators have become increasingly reliant on surveillance footage from cameras mounted along the roadways.
