Summary
(Terrence Antonio James / Chicago Tribune)After a teen was shot and killed near the Bean, Mayor Lori Lightfoot has banned unaccompanied minors from visiting Millennium Park after 6 p.m. from Thursday through Sunday, a policy aimed at keeping large crowds of teenagers from creating chaos, but that also is likely to inspire fierce criticism from civil libertarians and racial justice advocates.The move is reminiscent of Lightfoot’s decision throughout 2020 to raise bridges into downtown as a way to keep potential looters or other criminals out of the Loop. When he saw officers coming toward him he also took off running, the report said, but he was stopped and detained after a brief foot chase.Chicago police guard the perimeter of Millennium Park in Chicago after a teenage boy was shot and fatally wounded near the Cloud Gate sculpture on May 14, 2022.
