Lincoln Park Pushes for Restrictions on Late-Night Bars After Fatal Shooting

A fatal shooting on Lincoln Avenue in Lincoln Park prompted alderman Timmy Knudsen to renew calls for stricter rules on late-night bars along the Lincoln Avenue corridor, following a second late-night incident within weeks. The 30-year-old Malik McCorckle died after being shot Sunday night; a suspect is in custody and police say patrols will increase in the area. Neighbors, while still considering the neighborhood safe, expressed shock and support for measures such as limiting late-night licenses and stricter parking enforcement around Belden Avenue near The Dime, with ongoing investigations and potential charges to follow.
