Shooting Suspect Nabbed In Hyde Park

CHICAGO, IL - A suspect in the October shooting on 95th Street in Beverly was arrested this week in Hyde Park. Jason Hicks, the man who is believed to be responsible for the Oct. 12 shooting of someone he knew in the 2100 block of West 95th Street near the corner of 95th and Leavitt, was taken into custody on Thursday, 19th Ward Ald. Matt O'Shea said in an email to neighborhood residents. The Chicago Police Department's Fugitive Apprehension Unit made the arrest in the 5500 block of south Lake Park Avenue.

"I have been in regular contact with the Cook County State's Attorney's Office and hope charges will be approved today," O'Shea wrote in the email Friday afternoon.

Hicks is a convicted felon who was out of prison on parole, according to O'Shea. Police found a loaded pistol on him when he was arrested on Thursday.

According to previous reports, the victim of the 95th Street shooting is a 33-year-old man who police say is a documented gang member. O'Shea said the shooting is believed to be a result of a domestic dispute between Hicks, the victim and a woman.

"This incident was not a random act of violence," O'Shea wrote.

O'Shea said several businesses along 95th Street assisted in the investigation by providing video footage to police.
