Rhanni Davis Charged With Four Murders on Suburban Chicago Commuter Train

Posted on | September 4, 2024 | No Comments

Murder on Labor Day weekend:

Prosecutors have approved murder charges in connection with the shootings that left four people dead on a CTA train Monday morning. Rhanni Davis, 30, is expected to appear in court for a detention hearing on Wednesday.
In another development, officials have released new information about the victims and how they died. According to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office, 60-year-old Adrian Collins was killed by a gunshot wound to his abdomen. Simeon Biheshi, 28, died from multiple gunshot wounds, the office said. Two victims were not identified by name: a 64-year-old woman who was shot in the head and a 52-year-old man who suffered multiple gunshot wounds.
At about 5:27 a.m. Monday, a CTA employee discovered three bodies on one train car after it reached the end of the line in Forest Park. A fourth victim was soon found in a separate car on the same train.
When police arrived, the shooter had already left. However, CTA security identified a suspect from the transit system’s surveillance footage. Based on a description provided by the CTA, Chicago cops arrested Davis at the California Pink Line station at 7 a.m. Monday. Officials said CPD recovered a firearm during the arrest.
Cook County court records list five criminal cases filed against Davis since 2012, all misdemeanors.
The most recent charge against was criminal trespass to a vehicle in Riverdale in November 2022. Prosecutors dropped the case two months later, but records show Davis did not appear for that hearing.
Davis faced charges of illegal firearm possession in the 3500 block of West 55th Street in February 2021. Prosecutors dropped that case in October 2021.
Records show Davis pleaded guilty in September 2020 to disorderly conduct after being arrested outside the former Bloomingdale’s Home & Furniture, 600 North Wabash, during the August 10 looting spree. Judge Robert Kuzas handed down a one-day sentence.
In May 2014, police arrested Davis in Boystown under the name James McDavis. After pleading guilty to misdemeanor battery, Davis successfully completed court supervision.
Evanston police arrested Davis for retail theft in October 2012, also under the name James McDavis. Records show Davis stopped appearing in court and the matter remained active until prosecutors dropped it following the Bloomingdale’s arrest in 2020.

Elsewhere in Chicago this past weekend:

At least five people were killed, and 26 others were hurt in Chicago shootings across the city during the Labor Day weekend, according to Chicago police.
The ages of the victims range from 16 to 58.

So, five shot to death in Chicago, and four more murdered on a commuter train and yet, for some reason, CNN didn’t give hourly coverage of these shootings, nor did President Biden issue a statement about the carnage. Murder in Chicago — or Baltimore, Detroit, Memphis, etc. — is routine, and regarded as strictly local news. In terms of covering crime, as in every other thing they do, the national media care only about politics, and doing what they can to help Democrats win elections. And they think we’re too stupid to notice what they’re doing.
