A $10,000 reward was being offered for information leading to an arrest in the double murder of an Uber driver and a high school basketball player.
Jassen Cho, 38, and Damarion Johnson, 18, were driving in the 200 block of North Homan Avenue around 8:30 p.m. Thursday when someone inside a gray SUV fired at them, Chicago police said.
Cho was pronounced dead at Mount Sinai Hospital at 8:54 p.m., while Johnson died at 8:57 p.m. at Stroger Hospital, both from multiple gunshot wounds, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office, which ruled their deaths homicides.
“This was a senseless act of violence that took the lives of two individuals and devastated their families,” said Paul Rutherford, executive director of Cook County Crime Stoppers in a statement. “Someone in the community knows who is responsible. We urge anyone with information, no matter how small it may seem, to come forward anonymously,” said Rutherford in the statement. “Your tip could help bring justice to the victims and help prevent additional violence in our neighborhoods.”
