Zion Brown is an 18-year old student who lives in Chicago. He’s charged with armed robbery after he pulled out a black semi-automatic handgun on Tuesday morning while riding the Metra Electric Line train, just before class started up again for another week. It happened right outside of Loyola University where all of these widely circulated surveillance images were taken earlier this month.
When he was recognized by his mother, a police officer records that the suspect “fled on foot” and remained undetected until later that night. It wasn’t until then that they were finally reunited after months apart due to various events happening between them both throughout this time period such as classes at school or busy work schedules etc. The attorney for Brown told Judge Maryam Ahmad during bond court appearance how hungry their client had been before heading off into town in the early morning hours last week.
The excuse elicited little sympathy from the judge, who quipped that she too was once a hungry student but never resorted to violence. The audience responded with laughs and jeers as they awaited her decision on bail; those present shall have no mercy should this woman commit another crime because she is sure not going back inside if there’s any way around it.
When a train arrives at the Van Buren Street Station, it’s always exciting to see who can get on board. On this day in Chicago, there was one person that didn’t want any part of being impressed by what they thought were tough guys with guns – until their money got taken from them. The conductor stood patiently as the brown-haired guy pulled out his weapon and announced an armed robbery before demanding cash or else he’d shoot someone nearby; surveillance images showed both men raising hands above head while tying up loose strings around the neck ( probably because these people don’t know how dangerous crime works here).
After observing the conductor handling money and suffering from pangs of hunger, Brown decided to hold up his coat. The man quickly ran away with about $110 before dumping a weapon in an area where it would never be found again.
Last month, a mother turned in her 13-year old son to New York police after recognizing him on the wanted poster for an assault at Bronx playground. In another case reported by Brown last week from Chicago’s Loyola University student body where he said that he was majoring as an economics undergraduate and expected graduate status 2025 following arrest.
That teen, whose name wasn’t released because of his age, was accused of shooting another 13-year-old boy in the knee in a Hunts Point Playground over a Snapchat feud. And in October 2019, a woman in Washington was hailed a hero for reporting her son’s troublesome journal entries to local police. She told investigators that her teenage boy detailed in his notebook plans to attack his school on the anniversary of the 1999 Columbine High School massacre.
Police said his detailed journal included times, specific firearms and explosives, locations, and established date of April 20, 2020, and plans to kill his mother and her boyfriend.
