I must have assumed they said black because Garfield Park Chicago is a black neighborhood. I was following one story to see if they found the suspects, and checked for a few weeks and nada and I concluded there are a lot of drive by shootings where the perps are never identified or caught even with big rewards from Crime Stoppers

I see these alerts on Nextdoor Berwyn often

Police are continuing to search for two suspects who opened fire on four people, killing three of them, in Garfield Park
Plus the names are always name for black people
