A Chicago woman has been left brain dead after she was viciously beaten by an eight-time felon, police said.
The woman, 61, who has not been identified, was riding the CTA Red Line on January 4 when she was targeted by two men - one of whom was allegedly convicted criminal Mijawon Johnson, 36.
As they attempted to steal her purse, Johnson pinned the woman to a seat and repeatedly punched and stomped her head and stomach, and jumped on her 'with all of his weight', prosecutors said.
Johnson was on parole for armed robbery at the time of the attack, has served six stints in prison and now faces charges including attempted murder - which could be upgraded as the woman is not expected to survive.
The beating erupted at around 1:30am, when Johnson was allegedly captured on surveillance footage approaching the woman on a train car.
At some point during the attempted robbery, the attacker flew into a violent frenzy and repeatedly attacked the woman's head and stomach.
Officials said he 'stomped' her before leaving her for dead on the train. She was found by train staff when it pulled into Roosevelt Station - around 12 minutes down the line from where the attack took place.
The victim is believed to currently be 'on a ventilator and brain dead', CWB Chicago reported. Prosecutors said she is not expected to live.

Too bad the unidentified woman didn’t pull a Paul Kersey. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYN41wGmP8U
Picture not needed.
Presumptively black after the description of what happened.
Time to stop these thugs.
To quote another Freeper, “SPJNK”.
He looks troubled. -sarc
Too bad Jack Reacher isn’t waiting for him in a jail cell.
Well 1:30 am on the CTA is a place and time nothing good is going to happen that’s for sure.
Since a black did it, it must be “random” as the virtuous blacks are incapable of hate.
I’m sure it was just a mental health crisis. We shouldn’t blame the murderer, his actions are surely a result of growing up in a systemically racist country. We have to search for the causes of his actions, putting him in prison will cause his family to suffer. (Do I need a sarcasm tag)
Race of the victim?
Diversity is our strength.
Yeah…and the more you see, diverse it gets…
This is sadder than the death of George Floyd . Oops I forgot the victim wasn’t on crack so it’s not as bad.
Everyone hates Mondays…
Old rule: Nothing good happens after midnight.
New rule: Nothing good happens in a city run by Democrats.
Thanks.
Recently watched the Death Wish and Dirty Harry dvds.
I have never been able to watch a shooting scene since Elmore Leonard’s novel Killshot without evaluating whether the fictional shooter properly made certain the perp weas dead and not coming back bleeding and angry with a hostage later on. Leonard was the best.
I read a forum post from a retired officer who said 90% of people shot by a handgun do not die, including suicide attempts. He said one felon was hit 20 times by bullets and continued walking and shooting at officers for about 40 feet.
A head shot finally stopped him from firing at officers.
(not sure I should copy his full post here although he didn’t post his name).
But our prison system is racist...
Great. Another weak excuse to put a black man in jail.
I always hate it in movies where some good guy or girl shoots the bad guy. Once. No! Shoot them till you’re sure they’re dead. Empty the magazine if necessary.
Mijawon.
