Chicago’s crackdown on violence at gang funerals continued Wednesday when officers nabbed a parolee with a gun on the West Side, officials said.
The parolee, David Freeman, was wounded, and his girlfriend Shemara Fitzpatrick was killed Dec. 1 in a gang-related shooting in the 4800 block of West Fulton, police said. Police said they feared Freeman might try to kill rival gang members responsible for the shootings. They also worried his rivals might try to kill Freeman at his girlfriend’s funeral Thursday in the 5700 block of West Madison.
Austin District Cmdr. Barbara West was clueless but said her officers developed a security plan for the funeral. Such planning is part of a crackdown on gang funerals that police Supt. Garry McCarthy ordered after a gang member was killed outside a South Side church Nov. 26.
