Family demands action and justice in hit-and-run that killed woman in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood
A family is fighting for justice after a hit-and-run crash a month ago killed a young woman and injured her fiancé. Standing outside the Near West (12th) District Chicago police station, 1412 S. Blue Island Ave., loved ones of Marcela Herrera were on a mission to take their concerns directly to the CPD. "Our pain is immense, and our soul is shattered," said Herrera's sister, "because to this day, we have not received any response from relevant authorities." Back on July 19, the 22-year-old Herrera and her fiancé were walking in the crosswalk near Ashland Avenue and Cullerton Street in the Pilsen neighborhood. Police said someone driving a Dodge Journey sport-utility vehicle hit the couple, and never stopped. "It's so important for us to get justice," said Anita Salgado. Salgado and Herrera were childhood friends. She said the family wants the driver to know they will keep Herrera's case of everyone's face until there is an arrest. Salgado added that the acts should be weighing heavily on whoever was behind the wheel that day. "This should be something that's heavy on their conscience," said Salgado. "You know, her family has not stopped shouting her name, her friends have not stopped shouting her name, and we won't stop not stopped shouting her name until they come forward." Herrera's sisters told the crowd Tuesday that detectives have been vague about updates. The show of support outside the police station was intended also to remind officers the case matters. "We've felt completely ignored. We've made calls, sent messages, and still haven't received a response," said Herrera's sister. "Perhaps a month seems like a short time to the authorities, but for us, every moment is critical." Herrera worked at an early childhood school, where parents spoke of her kindness and said she treated the kids at the school as if they were her own. "Always speaking with positivity over my son David," a mom said. Now, loved ones want the deadly hit-and-run treated with priority — even from the community, whom the family believes knows something. "Maybe you saw the dark-colored Journey. Maybe you heard someone brag or whisper, Maybe you know exactly who is responsible," said Salgado. "Real friends don't let you carry a murder on your conscience. Protecting a killer doesn't make you loyal. It makes you guilty too. Herrera's fiancé was seriously injured in the hit-and-run, but survived. Chicago police said they had no updates, and are still working every lead possible.

Alleged Cincinnati attackers walk free after bond cuts, police hunt eighth suspect
Two suspects arrested in connection with the viral July 26 downtown Cincinnati beatdown have been released on bond, while police hunt for an eighth alleged perpetrator in the assault. The Hamilton County Prosecutor's Office confirmed to Fox News Digital that DeKyra Vernon, 24, and Aisha Devaughn, 25, were released from the Hamilton County Jail on Friday. In a Thursday arraignment, Vernon's bond was reduced from $250,000 to $25,000 at 10%. On the same day, Devaughn's bond was reduced from $300,000 to $25,000 at 10%. Both Vernon and Devaughn have been charged with three counts of alleged felonious assault, three counts of assault and two counts of aggravated rioting. Meanwhile, the Cincinnati Police Department (CPD) is asking for help locating an eighth suspect in connection with the downtown attack on July 26 that went viral due to its shocking level of violence. "Central Business Section is investigating a Felonious Assault offense that occurred on 4th Street and Elm on July 26, 2025," the department said on X. CPD did not say how the suspect was allegedly involved in the beating. Those who might have information on the suspect are asked to call CPD Det. Blank. The beatings took place in the early morning hours of July 26 on the corner of Fourth and Elm St., outside a local nightclub. Patrick Rosemond, 38, Jermaine Matthews, 39, Montanez Merriweather, 34 and Dominique Kittle, 37, are also each charged with three counts of alleged felonious assault, three counts of assault and two counts of aggravated rioting. Matthews' bond was set at $250,000, which he posted immediately after his arrest. The rest of the suspects remain in jail. Separately, Merriweather is facing a federal gun charge for illegally possessing a weapon as a felon. A seventh suspect, Gregory Wright, 32, was indicted on charges of aggravated riot and felony aggravated robbery after he allegedly "did by force rip the necklace off the victim while he was being assaulted by four or more co-defendants attempting to cause serious physical harm" during the violent beatdown, according to a criminal complaint. During an Aug. 1 news conference, Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval said everyone involved in the attack would be charged. "I agree with Pastor Lynch, that there is no doubt that this public safety challenge, that this incident will require further investigation, further charges and further arrests for every single person involved," he said. Reverend Damon Lynch, a community leader, had previously complained during the news conference that the victims, who are White, have not been charged. "But when I see the mugshots, I only see people who look like me," said Lynch, who is Black. "I don't see the person who re-engaged. And so until we see all the mugshots, this is still a racial issue."

Editorial: DuSable Lake Shore Drive has become unsafe. Let's do something about it.
On a lengthy list of bills Gov. JB Pritzker signed into law Friday was a measure authored by state Sen. Sara Feigenholtz to address what has become one of the true hazards of life in Chicago: driving on DuSable Lake Shore Drive. The law will have the Urban Transportation Center at the University of Illinois Chicago do a study on whether cameras using artificial intelligence technology can make DuSable Lake Shore Drive safer. In an April 4 statement, Feigenholtz, a Democrat representing a North Side district, said, 'The high number of crashes due to dangerous and distracted patterns demands urgent action. We need research-driven solutions that improve safety outcomes without imposing overly punitive measures.' AI cameras are being deployed on expressways in this country and abroad to identify unsafe practices such as failing to wear a seatbelt and texting while driving, as well as speeding. Some jurisdictions are studying how the technology can be used. Others outside the U.S. are going so far as to allow the cameras to generate evidence for ticketing drivers. In this country, some states are using the technology to give police patrolling the roads a heads-up on drivers coming their way who are breaking laws on distracted driving and speeding. Fierce debates are occurring already, as you might imagine, around privacy. We share those misgivings. But without a doubt, something must be done about driving behavior on DuSable Lake Shore Drive. Anyone who's been on the drive in recent months — really any time since the pandemic — routinely encounters reckless driving. Speeds at 90 mph or more are a common sight. Hazardous lane changing occurs regularly. In our experience, the issue is worse on the southern stretch of the drive, perhaps because it is more lightly traveled than North DuSable Lake Shore Drive, which abuts more densely populated neighborhoods. But both ends of the iconic roadway currently aren't safe enough for law-abiding drivers to use. On South DuSable Lake Shore Drive, it used to be that regular patrolling by the Chicago Police Department kept drivers from channeling their inner Mario Andretti. CPD patrols these days are an infrequent sight, and predictably the speed demons feel liberated. We see nothing wrong with studying the use of AI-enabled cameras on DuSable Lake Shore Drive. In the future, there may even be an argument for speed cameras on the drive given their proliferation on far less dangerous city streets where increasingly they are more a source of revenue for a revenue-starved city government than anything else. But in the meantime, how about returning to a tried-and-true method of keeping DuSable Lake Shore Drive safer? That is, regular patrolling by CPD. We understand police resources are stretched, and we sympathize with arguments that cops need to be focused mainly on violent crime. But people are dying on DuSable Lake Shore Drive as well, and we'd argue that a few regular patrols armed with that trusty old-school technology — the radar gun — are well justified by the future lives that can be saved.
