Rhanni S. Davis, 30, faces four counts of first-degree murder after what officials described as the execution-style killings of the four passengers as they slept, police announced at a news conference Tuesday. The shooting took place before 5:30 a.m. Monday aboard a Chicago-area L train in Forest Park, a suburb about 10 miles west of downtown Chicago. 4 passengers fatally shot on Labor Day on 2 train cars Chicago Transit Authority employees were the first to come across the bodies of three gunshot victims early Monday while cleaning train cars on a Blue Line train, according to a police report provided to USA TODAY. The Blue Line train, which operates 24 hours a day, runs from Forest Park through downtown Chicago to Chicago O’Hare International Airport. Forest Park police who responded a 911 call found the three passengers, all of whom appeared to have been shot from close range in the head, the police report says. A fourth victim found in a separate train car with a gunshot wound to the stomach was rushed to a hospital and later died, police said Monday in a news release. All four appeared to have been sleeping and probably didn’t even see the gunman before they were killed, Forest Park Deputy Police Chief Christopher Chin told USA TODAY. Three of the victims were identified as Margaret Miller, 64, Simeon Bihesi, 28, and Adrian Collins, 60, the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed to USA TODAY. Rhanni Davis due in court Wednesday After the shooting, the suspect tried to flee but was identified on video surveillance and arrested by 7 a.m. on another L line, police said. Davis’ suspected motive was not immediately clear, but Chin said Monday that it was an “isolated incident.” Davis was due in court Wednesday, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office confirmed to USA TODAY. In a statement provided Wednesday to USA TODAY, Chicago Transit Authority President Dorval R. Carter called the shootings “the definition of a heinous crime and tragedy.” Police, Hoskins said, are used to calls to the area because of the busy transit line, but he noted that fatal shootings rarely occur there. – This Summarize was created by Neural News AI (V1).
