Chicago-fast work by the police officers of Chicago has led to charges being filed in connection with the double shooting of Sunday evening in Rogers Park. The recording was recorded on video.
Cleophus Rufus, 33, is accused of murder in the first degree, attempted murder in the first degree and worsened battery by discharging a firearm, according to a CPD media statement. He was planned to appear before a judge for a detention hearing today.
The police found a 31-year-old man dead of a shot wound at the head and neck. A second victim, also 31, was discovered in a nearby alley. CPD said he was shot in the chest and both legs.
Video recorded from the other side of the street shows the recordings from a distance:

Researchers found a firearm and a plastic bag with piles of cash in the shooting, an officer said. CPD said that officers arrested Rufus shortly after the shooting on the same block where it took place.
Specific details about what the police and prosecutors believe that there would be open on Sunday during the hearing of Rufus’ court.
The deceased victim was not immediately identified. Legal reports show that the surviving victim was twice convicted of theft as an adult, the most recently received from a 10 -year prison sentence in 2017.
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.
