Gun used in Chicago-to-Evanston murder spree tied to past shootings in Chicago

Gun used in Chicago-to-Evanston murder spree tied to past shootings in Chicago

The gun that Jason Nightengale used in a rampage Jan. 9 that left 4 dead had been stolen from a legitimate owner, a source said, and probably on the street for a “long, long time.”

The Evanston Police Department says Jason Nightengale used this gun during a deadly shootout with Evanston cops on Jan. 9.

Ballistics tests show the .45-caliber handgun used in a Jan. 9 terror spree that started on the South Side and ended in Evanston — leaving four people dead and three wounded — had been used in previous “shooting incidents” in Chicago, police said.

Tom Ahern, a spokesman for the Chicago Police Department, said he didn’t know whether anyone was killed or wounded in the earlier shootings or when and where they took place.

I won't be surprised when he is linked to other unsolved seemingly random cases.

 

[minazoe]

like some one goes to the area that borders rogers park and Evanston and shoots random people...his foot turns outward and its very noticeable , he also matches height and weight. also that is a very specific area where you can walk just a few blocks and be in rogers park and cross over Howard Ave and theres the pancake house,
in that part of the city it's not that far to walk down towards the lake into residential rogers park. its a very specific area for several reasons..also there is train for a quick
in and out of the neighborhood..essentially the end of the line.

for me he ticks every box. check the footage..very noticeable. mOO
