Two 14-year-old boys went to Green Acres convenience store near 26th and Ridgeland after school. As they left the store, a man in his early 20s approached them and asked if they "represented" a certain gang. The boys could see he had a gun in his jacket; they said they represented nobody. The man said, "good, keep it that way," and left in a tan 4-door driven by a second man. The two men were black and dressed entirely in black; the first man was 6'3" and thin, and the driver was heavier. A third male in the car was white and in his late teens, wearing black and gold with a Southpole brand baseball cap. The boys then went to a basketball game at Heritage and told the principal, who called police.

A 20-year-old woman met police at the door of her apartment in the 1600 block of Elmwood, holding her face and looking fearfully back over her shoulder. She said her boyfriend had already left, but officers did not believe her and asked to come inside. Behind her, police found a Chicago man, age 31, who said he had no ID to show them. He gave a name that came back "no record" on the computer. He claimed they argued but her never hit her. Officers believed her injured face said otherwise and arrested him for domestic battery.
