Another wave of violence and murder swept through Chicago this weekend, with at least five dead by Sunday afternoon.
At least five murders and ten shooting-related injuries had been reported as of 2:08 pm ET.
Several teens as young as 15 years old were injured. One 19-year-old and one 16-year-old were transported to the hospital in critical condition.
Per CBS News:
At least five people have been killed and 10 others have been wounded in weekend shootings across Chicago.
The ages of the victims range from 15 to 44.
In the first shooting of the weekend, a 32-year-old employee of a business in the South Loop got into an argument with a 31-year-old man in the 1300 block of South Michigan Avenue around 9:30 p.m. on Friday.
This included at least two shooting incidents on Friday, starting at 9:30 pm local time, seven on Saturday, starting at approximately 1 am, and five on Sunday, starting shortly after midnight.
In nearly all cases, nobody was taken into custody.
This comes after 58 people were shot in Chicago last weekend, leaving eight dead.
The weekend before, at least six people were killed and 27 were injured, with victims as young as five years old, in shootings.
The Trump Administration has been planning federal law enforcement operations and potential National Guard deployment in the Windy City, citing the violent crime crisis.
It was recently revealed that 200 or more Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials would be deployed in the sanctuary city of Chicago to carry out deportations. The National Guard may also be deployed as a deterrent to rioters and criminals.
President Trump pointed to the data from the last two weekends and shredded a reporter at the White House earlier, when asked why he was targeting Chicago with law enforcement actions.

"Excuse me, do you know how many people were killed in Chicago last weekend? Eight. You know how many people were killed in Chicago the week before? Seven," he said. "You know how many people were wounded? 74 people were wounded. You think there’s worse than that? I don’t think so."

WATCH: Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger Runs Away from Reporter Asking If She’ll Finally Turn Violent Criminal Illegal Aliens Over to DHS


Democrat Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger was caught on camera running away from a reporter asking about whether she would reverse her sanctuary policies and begin cooperating with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to remove dangerous illegal aliens from the state.
Spanberger turned away without comment as a reporter pressed her on Fairfax County’s sanctuary policies and repeated calls from federal immigration authorities.
The reporter specifically asked about discontinuing sanctuary practices in light of DHS data showing that three out of every four murder defendants in Fairfax County murder trials this year are illegal aliens.

DHS has directly urged Spanberger to end policies that shield criminal illegal aliens.
In an April X post, the agency stated, “Of the four defendants in Fairfax County murder trials this year, THREE are ILLEGAL ALIENS. Governor Spanberger must end her sanctuary policies that allow these illegal aliens onto our streets and work with DHS to protect the citizens of the commonwealth.”

One of Spanberger’s first official actions after taking office was to terminate all 287(g) agreements in Virginia.
These agreements had allowed state and local law enforcement to partner with ICE to identify and hand over criminal illegal aliens in custody.
Spanberger has also supported legislation that would further restrict local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, including requirements for judicial warrants before honoring ICE detainers.
Fairfax County, a known sanctuary jurisdiction, has seen a string of high-profile violent crimes allegedly committed by illegal aliens under Spanberger’s tenure.
In February, Stephanie Minter, 41, was stabbed to death at a bus stop by Abdul Jalloh, an illegal alien from Sierra Leone with more than 30 prior arrests.
Fairfax County officials released him despite an ICE detainer.
In March, Misael Lopez Gomez, who illegally crossed the border in July 2023, was accused of murdering his three-month-old daughter. DHS issued a detainer requesting that he not be released.
“This cold-blooded killer murdered his own three-month-old daughter. We are calling on Governor Spanberger to commit to not releasing this barbaric animal from jail into Virginia communities,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “This monster should have never been allowed in our country by the Biden administration. We need cooperation from sanctuary politicians to stop criminals from being released from jail to perpetrate more crimes and create more innocent victims.”
Also in March, Anibal Armando Chavarria Muy, a Guatemalan illegal alien, was charged with second-degree murder after repeatedly stabbing a man.
DHS has highlighted multiple other killings linked to illegal aliens in Fairfax, including a mob murder and MS-13-related executions.
The agency has stated that illegal aliens accounted for 75% of murder defendants in the county this year.
DHS has repeatedly called on Spanberger and Fairfax officials not to release these individuals back into communities, citing the county’s refusal to honor over 1,150 ICE detainers in recent years.
A new Washington Post-Schar School poll shows Spanberger’s job approval rating at just 47% approve to 46% disapprove after only a few months in office, the highest early-term disapproval rating for any Virginia governor since polling began in the 1990s.
Critics argue that her shift from a centrist campaign image to left-leaning governance on issues such as immigration and redistricting has alienated her constituents.

HORROR: 21-Year-Old Marine Stabbed to Death on Easter Morning by Unknown Assailant in North Carolina – Person of Interest Sought in Incident

A brave American hero was brutally murdered on Easter morning in a senseless act of violence in North Carolina, and authorities are seeking public help in hopes of identifying the person responsible.
As WECT reported, Wilmington police responded to reports of fighting in the downtown area at roughly 2 am Sunday. There, they found that two people had been stabbed.
One of the victims was 21-year-old Daniel Montano, a United States Marine. He had been stabbed in the neck and was rushed to the hospital for treatment.
Unfortunately, Montano later died from his injuries.
WECT obtained a statement from the 2nd Marine Division, based at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, confirming that Montano had passed away.
2nd Marine Division can confirm that at approximately 2:00 a.m. on April 5th, a Marine was injured during an altercation in Wilmington, NC, and as of April 6th, has unfortunately passed away due to the injuries sustained.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to the Marine’s family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time.
Below is a local report on the incident:
Police are looking for an adult Black male with a medium build for questioning. WECT reports he was last seen wearing a light-colored fleece-lined denim jacket, light-colored denim pants, a pink shirt, and white sneakers with blue and red streaks.
WHQR notes that one video that has gone viral on social media shows a man bleeding badly after being stabbed in the neck, while another man removes his t-shirt and tries to save the victim’s life.
WECT confirmed the video was taken on Sunday morning, suggesting that the victim in the footage is Montero.
Officers, though, do not appear to provide first aid to the stabbing victim. A woman can be heard screaming “Oh, my God” several times.
The outlet notes that, according to the Wilmington Police Department’s policy manual, the first officer on the scene of a significant crime must locate and assist injured individuals. Other officers should also be able to provide appropriate assistance when necessary.
District Attorney Jason Smith told WECT on Tuesday that he had reviewed the video and did not believe the officers committed a criminal act.
For that reason, Smith said he hadn’t contacted the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) about a probe into the officers.
