June 15, 2011 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- A 15-year-old boy was mugged at gunpoint and struck on the head by a group of teens near the Ogilvie Transportation Center in the West Loop on Tuesday evening.
The incident happened about 6:30 p.m. near an alley at 101 N. Clinton St., according to police News Affairs Officer John Mirabelli.
The victim was approached by a group of seven male teens, Mirabelli said.
One, who was armed with a handgun, approached the victim and demanded his money, according to police. A second teen struck the victim on the back of his head, Mirabelli said.
The group got the boy's cell phone, cash and a bus card, police said.
Police are asking that anyone who may have seen the robbery and can provide a description of the offenders call Belmont Area detectives. Additionally, if anyone sees someone matching the description of the suspects, they should call police.
The offender with the gun was described as a black male with a dark complexion, about 19, 6-foot-1 and 170 pounds with brown eyes and black hair in dreadlocks.
The offender who struck the boy in the head was described as a black male between 15 and 18 with brown eyes and black hair, also in dreadlocks. He is about 5-foot-11 and 150 pounds, and was wearing dark blue jean shorts and a T-shirt that had the word "ENYCE" in rhinestones, Mirabellli said.
The other offenders were described only as black males believed to be in their teens.
No one was in custody as of late Wednesday morning, and Belmont Area detectives are investigating.
This incident is at least the tenth similar attack in the downtown area since the beginning of the month.

1 seriously wounded in police-involved shooting
I was going to say, it’s only the 15th.
No, no problem here.
Oh those wacky teens.
don't you just love now how they more and more use the term "dark" skin to describe blacks?...oh, and the dark hair...LOL
All this hope and change.................
And right in Obammy’s back yard.
My only question: is this planned and organized?
wait to Juneteenth or whatever that is comes along....another made up holiday..
Only takes a quick Google to find out that ENYCE is “Enyce ([en-ne-che]) is an American hip hop fashion label owned by Sean Diddy Combs.”
pack of jackals
In tri-racial, politically correct Austin Texas, the common description twenty years ago was “male with black hair and brown eyes”. Very helpful.
These poor downtrodden black folks are just trying to make a living ON CLINTON ST. How fitting!!
“My only question: is this planned and organized?”
I have wondered if it is training.
When guns are outlawed...
Relate this recent attack to the imposition of a curfew in Baltimore.(There is a Post about it here at FR) So far nothing reported out here in the West Coast.”
History will record that “The Spark of Lawlessness” started in Chicago.

Look, it’s an improvement. Liberal papers for years have hidden the race of men committing violent crimes IF they were black. It’s one of the reasons black crime hasn’t been dealt with - total liberal elite denial. So be thankful for this - it’s an honorable change ...
We’re all going to have to become a “Bernhard Goetz”.
Am I imagining things, or is it getting worse since Rahm Emmanuel took Daley’s place? I know Chicago has never been good, but there seem to be a lot more crime stories.
