The city has forced an Edgewater restaurant with a late-night drink license to close after a weekend shooting, making two men dead and a third man injured outside the location.
Porkchop, 6341 North Broadway, and Meet & Whiskey, a company with the same address, received a summary closing on Sunday, ald. Leni Manaa-Loopworth (48th) said.
The shooting took place around 1:20 am on Saturday, but CPD gave very little information about what happened. Manaa-Hoppenworth said on Monday that the shooting seems to be “focused” and noted that no arrests had been made.
An officer who is familiar with the study said that video shows that the shooter used a stolen infinity Q50, which was found in the 600 block of the 134th place of the East -134 less than two hours after the shooting.
Officers found 28-year-old Derrell Givens on site with shot wounds in his body. CPD has given resuscitation to try to save him, but he succumbed to his injuries in St. Francis Hospital.
Two other victims arrived in hospitals in cars: a 31-year-old man shot in the left breast who died in the Weiss Hospital, and a 36-year-old man who was in a reasonable state in the Evanston hospital with a shot wound on his back. The 31-year-old fatality has not been publicly identified by the authorities.
“Violent interrupers connect with the families of the victims,” said the alderman.

CWBCHICAGO was founded in 2013 by five residents of Wigleyville and Boystown who had been discouraged with inaccurate information that was provided during meetings of the local community policing (CAPS). Our coverage area has since been expanded to cover Lincoln Park, River North, De Loop, Uptown and other North Side areas. But our mission remains unchanged: to provide original reporting of public safety with a better context and more detail than regular media. Our editorial e -mail address is news@cwbchicago.com
