3 killed, 16 wounded in mass shooting outside downtown Chicago nightclub Artis Lounge
Police confirmed multiple people were shot in the 300 block of West Chicago Avenue. A city official confirmed 19 people were shot and 3 were killed in a drive-by shooting.
The shooting apparently happened as people were leaving the Artis Lounge nightclub, following an album release party for rapper MelloBuckz.
The same block was also the scene of a mass shooting in November 2022, when the same nightclub was known as Hush Lounge. One person was killed and three others were wounded after a group that had been thrown out of Hush started fighting.
Police shut down the Hush nightclub after that shooting, and Artis Lounge later opened in the same location.
This is a developing story. CBS News Chicago will continue to provide updates.

"I turned the corner, and I saw my wife fall to the floor, and I knew something was definitely wrong," said Michael Robinson. His daughter, Tia Robinson, and her 3-year-old twins were struck as they were walking near Lyndon Street and Merriman Road in Livonia. Tia Robinson and her daughter were seriously injured, and her young son was killed. "We had no idea the devastation that we would be facing," said Michael Robinson. Police say the driver accused in the hit and run, 55-year-old Tammy Sandoval of Mt. Morris, originally took off and was later arrested. She faces several charges, including driving with a suspended license and failure to stop at a scene causing serious injury and death. Her bond is set at $600,000. Michael Robinson says he is still processing his feelings around Sandoval's arrest. "I'm not mad at her, I'm not upset, and hold no grudges. The best way I can say it is I really don't know how I feel," said Michael Robinson. Michael Robinson says his daughter remains hospitalized, recovering from severe injuries. "Nothing's changed; they have her still sedated," said Michael Robinson. He says his young granddaughter is doing much better, having been released from the hospital this week, and is now back home with family. "She's all scratched up, scarred up, but she has no broken bones or anything," said Michael Robinson. Michael Robinson says the support from the community has been incredible, namely the thousands of dollars raised by the Livonia First Responder Foundation to help. "They have showed us more love than we would ever imagine, and for them to reach out to us and extend the hand of gratitude, as they've done, and all the people that have donated, we really and truly appreciate it," said Michael Robinson. As their family navigates a long recovery, Michael Robinson says they are leaning on each other during this tragic time. "My daughter, she would move heaven and earth for her kids. She loved her children very dearly, and this is going to be hard to let her know that she lost her baby," he said. If you would like to support Tia Robinson and her family, reach out to the Livonia First Responder Foundation.

Former Houston ICE Officer Charged With Bribery, Aiding Criminal Aliens
(Texas Scorecard) – Federal prosecutors have accused four Houston-area men, including a former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer, of shielding criminal illegal aliens from deportation. Former ICE deportation officer José Angel Muniz, 51, of La Porte; Leopoldo Perrault Benitez, 53, owner of A Way Out Bail Bonds in Houston; his son Anthony Benitez, 32; and Isaac Sierra, 51, of International Bonding Company; allegedly conspired between April 2023 and March 2024 to remove ICE detainers in exchange for bribes. Prosecutors allege that the scheme enabled individuals in the Harris County Jail to be released on bond, sidestepping federal removal proceedings. All four defendants made initial appearances in federal court before U.S. Magistrate Judge Peter Bray and were ordered detained pending further proceedings. 'This indictment underscores our commitment to rooting out corruption,' said U.S. Attorney Nicholas J. Ganjei of the Southern District of Texas. 'There is no room whatsoever for bribery or side deals when it comes to immigration enforcement.' If convicted, each man faces up to 15 years in federal prison. The case strikes at the heart of Houston's bail bond system and immigration enforcement infrastructure. Harris County has long been a flashpoint in the debate over local-federal cooperation on immigration. Sheriff Ed Gonzalez ended the county's participation in ICE's controversial 287(g) program in 2017, but ICE detainers are still regularly issued for undocumented individuals booked into county jails. Supporters argue that immigration detainers are critical to public safety. This case highlights behind-the-scenes corruption enabling individuals to avoid immigration court with the help of a federal officer. The FBI and ICE's Office of Professional Responsibility led the investigation, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard D. Hanes prosecuting.
