Illinois Police Using Facebook to Catch Burglary Suspects

Like a shoplifter suffering from kleptomania, Bramwell has a history of [...]

In the early afternoon of December 31, the last homicide of the year was committed. A 24-year old was murdered after possibly hitting another man’s Mercedes. His death brought the total up to 762 homicides throughout the city, up from only 480 homicides in 2015.
