Cook County sheriff’s deputies walked up and down Maryland Avenue near East 83rd Street with rifles and canine units while tactical teams combed nearby alleys with flashlights.
As squad cars lined the streets for several blocks in every direction,a police helicopter circled the area, beaming a searchlight. Residents walked their dogs and filmed the scene on their phones, protesting when officers asked them to back up to Cottage Grove Avenue so they could expand the crime scene.
Officers appeared to zero in on an alley on the west side of Ingleside. A resident leaned out the window of a courtyard building across the street and asked if they needed to get in. Detectives begin combing the front yard with flashlights.
This is a developing story.
