CHICAGO — A member of the Texas Democratic Delegation, in town for the party’s national convention, was robbed at gunpoint while walking in downtown Chicago on Wednesday morning.
The victim confirmed that he was walking with a friend when they were targeted around 2 a.m. in the 100 block of West Randolph. We are working to have a more detailed conversation with the man and are not identifying him by name because he is a crime victim.
As CWBChicago reported yesterday morning, a black Range Rover pulled up on the 100 block of West Randolph, and a gunman emerged to rob a 25-year-old man who was on the sidewalk near the Allegro Royal Sonesta Hotel Chicago, 171 West Randolph.
After getting that man’s wallet and room key, the robber crossed the street to rob a man and a woman, according to a CPD spokesperson. Those victims were the delegate and his friend. No injuries were reported.
