18-year-old charged after ramming five CPD officers during West Side after-prom chaos

An 18-year-old, Rashad Johnson of Plainfield, was charged with first-degree attempted murder, aggravated unlawful possession of a weapon, and criminal damage to government property after allegedly driving a blue car into five Chicago police officers and a squad car as they dispersed a large after-prom gathering near Roosevelt and Loomis on the Near West Side; a gun was found in the car and all five officers were hospitalized (three in the hospital Sunday afternoon). Officials said it wasn’t clear whether Johnson was connected to the gathering, which was described as an out-of-control after-prom event at the Brooks Homes, and about 30 minutes later a 19-year-old man was shot nearby.

Fake ICE Agents Target Immigrants in Violent Robberies Across the U.S.

An NBC News/Noticias Telemundo investigation finds a surge in people impersonating ICE officers to rob and harass immigrants, with at least 84 such incidents since 2014 and 31 in 2025 alone, many involving violence. Victims fear reporting due to deportation risk and mistrust of authorities, as impostors often don masks/hoods to imitate real agents. The report notes enforcement and identification gaps, calls for clearer rules on officer identification, and highlights the broader danger these crimes pose to immigrant communities.

New Chicago police chief accused of stealing seized guns and steroids

New Chicago Police Chief Earl D. Mayo, 45, is charged with seven felonies, including theft and official misconduct, after prosecutors say he stole firearms seized in investigations and sold them to a Hobart pawn shop, while also possessing anabolic steroids; Tanika Borders is charged with assisting Mayo. Authorities traced a Ruger 9mm from an ongoing case to the pawn shop, and Mayo allegedly asked a fellow officer to buy back the gun and retrieve suppressors. Borders allegedly tried to remove Mayo’s steroids and purchase back a firearm. Mayo, arrested in Clark County, Ohio, remains jailed as Lake County prosecutors pursue return; Lake County has since taken over policing of New Chicago. He had been appointed chief in January 2023 and is on administrative leave; his father is Indiana State Police Major Jerry Williams.
