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."

Singer D4vd was charged with murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez on Monday.

D4vd, David Anthony Burke, was finally arrested last week for the brutal murder of a 14-year-old girl whose dismembered, decomposing body was discovered rotting inside the front trunk of his Tesla.

Los Angeles Police Department officials confirmed last Thursday that the 20-year-old Houston-born singer was taken into custody without bail in connection with the September 2025 slaying of Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

The teen’s remains, wrapped in cadaver bags, partially frozen, decapitated, and hacked into pieces, were found by horrified first responders responding to reports of a foul odor emanating from an abandoned, dented Tesla towed from the Hollywood Hills.

D4vd allegedly began a sexual relationship with Celeste Rivas Hernandez when she was only 13.

Celeste was last seen in Southern California in 2024 after reportedly telling family members she was going to meet D4vd.

The victim’s mother had previously spoken out, raising questions about any possible relationship or grooming involving the young singer and the missing teen. Yet, the Los Angeles DA’s office delayed its investigation for several months.

D4vd’s attorneys said their client is innocent and did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

“Let us be clear — the actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez and he was not the cause of her death,” the lawyers said, according to AP.

The Associated Press reported:

Singer D4vd has been charged with murder in the death of a 14-year-old girl whose dismembered and decomposed body was found in September in his apparently abandoned Tesla, prosecutors said Monday.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said the 21-year-old D4vd, whose legal name is David Burke, was charged with first-degree murder; lewd and lascivious acts with an individual under 14; and mutilating a body in the killing of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. She was reported missing by her family in 2024, when she was 13. Authorities say she was 14 when she died.

The murder charges included special circumstances — lying in wait, committing crime for financial gain and murdering the witness in an investigation — that could carry the death penalty. Prosecutors haven’t announced whether they will seek it.

Youngkin Torches Dems on Fox News: ‘They Poured $70 Million’ to Fool Virginians into a 10-1 Gerrymander Power Grab, ‘Vote NO Tomorrow!’ (VIDEO)

Former Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin delivered a powerful warning to voters with just one day remaining before tomorrow’s critical special election referendum. Democrats are spending a staggering $70 million to “fool, trick, and deceive” Virginians into approving a radical constitutional amendment that would impose one of the most partisan gerrymanders in the nation.

The Democrat-backed constitutional amendment would let the Democrat-controlled General Assembly ram through a brand-new congressional map right now, mid-decade, outside the normal 10-year census process.

If it passes, the current six Democrat and five Republican delegations will get wiped out and replaced with a rigged 10 Democrat to one Republican gerrymander that experts call one of the most brazenly partisan maps in the nation.

That would deliver Democrats a net gain of four U.S. House seats heading into the 2026 midterms.

Youngkin appeared on Fox News on Monday to urge Republicans to submit their ballots.

“We have what is assessed as the fairest map in America… six Democrats and five Republicans, but it’s fair. [Democrats] want to override it… turned into the most gerrymandered map in America today… Vote NO tomorrow,” Youngkin said.

Youngkin added that Democrats have poured $70 million, more than they spent on the last governor’s race, into a massive ad blitz “to try to fool, trick and deceive Virginians.”

A “NO” vote, Youngkin says, is a vote for the fairest map in America.

WATCH:

The official ballot question reads:

“Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to allow the General Assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the upcoming elections, while ensuring Virginia’s standard redistricting process resumes for all future redistricting after the 2030 census?”

Democrats, including Barack Obama and Gov. Abigail Spanberger, have framed this brazen move as “restoring fairness” and a response to Republican-led redistricting in other states.

In reality, this is a blatant power grab to lock in supermajorities before the 2026 midterms and beyond.

The proposed map packs Republican voters into one ultra-safe district while carving up the rest to create safe Democratic seats across the board.

Share this information widely and make sure every Virginia voter you know gets to the polls.

“Corrupt, Callous and Incompetent” – Kamala Harris Trashes Trump During Remarks in Michigan (VIDEO)

Kamala Harris over the weekend delivered remarks at the Michigan Democratic Women’s Caucus in Detroit.

The failed presidential hopeful talked about her time as Biden’s Vice President, her pathetic 3-month 2024 presidential campaign, and gave feedback on President Trump’s second term.

Harris claimed President Trump was “pulled into” the Iran war by Israel’s Bibi Netanyahu and was using the conflict as “a feeble attempt to distract from the Epstein files.”

Kamala Harris said Trump and his administration are the most incompetent in US history.

“We are dealing with the most corrupt, callous and incompetent presidential administration in the history of the United States,” Harris said.

WATCH:

This is Harris’s first remarks since she suggested that she may run for president again.

Earlier this month, Harris, Pete Buttigieg, Senator Mark Kelly, and other high-profile Democrats and possible 2028 presidential hopefuls were in New York and attended the National Action Network convention.

Harris signaled she may run for president again.

Al Sharpton asked Kamala Harris if she would run for president in 2028 after she got trounced by President Trump in 2024.

“Listen. I might. I’m thinking about it,” Harris said.

“And that’s how I think of it and I am thinking about it in the context of… who and where and how can the best job be done for the American people?” she said.

“I’ll keep you posted,” Kamala added.

Kamala Harris then impersonated Trump as a “mob boss” as she criticized his foreign policy.
