Three of the people shot and killed on the CTA Blue Line were attacked as they slept, while a fourth person raised their hand in defense before being gunned down too, sources said Tuesday.
The new details came as four counts of first-degree murder were filed against Rhanni Davis, 30, who was arrested hours after the shooting early Monday in Forest Park.
Police had been alerted to the shooting around 5:30 a.m. as a train pulled into the Blue Line station at 711 Desplaines Ave. in the western suburb. Two men and a woman died at the scene, and a fourth person, a 60-year-old man, was taken to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, where he later died, police said.
Officials said the four victims were in two different cars. The Cook County medical examiner’s office has identified two of the victims as Adrian Collins, a 60-year-old man, and Simeon Bihesi, a 28-year-old man.
Collins died of a gunshot wound to the abdomen and Bihesi died of multiple gunshot wounds, according to autopsy results. The other two victims have not yet been named. One is a 64-year-old woman who died of a gunshot wound to the head. The other is 52-year-old man who died of multiple gunshot wounds.
Forest Park police said they tracked down Davis on a Pink Line train after working with CTA security to put together a description of the suspected shooter. A handgun was recovered.
Davis’ aunt expressed shock at the charges. “I wouldn’t expect for him to do anything like that to anybody,” she told the Sun-Times. “This is so f——- up, this is f——- up.”
