(JNS) The Chicago Police Department is drawing criticism for the lack of hate crime charges among 14 felony charges it announced on Monday against Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi, 22, who is accused of shooting a 39-year-old Jewish man, as well as firing at police officers and paramedics.
According to a charging document that Chicago Police shared with JNS, Abdallahi is accused of six charges for attempted murder in the first degree; seven for aggravated discharge of a firearm against a police officer or firefighter; and one for aggravated battery firearm discharge.
The suspect is accused of shooting an Orthodox Jewish man in the shoulder while he was walking to synagogue in the West Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago on Saturday morning.
