Chicago Explodes With Record Homicides
On Sunday, May 31, the Chicago Police Department responded to the most homicides in a 24-hour period seen in 60 years. Max Kapustin, senior research director of the University of Chicago Crime Lab, confirmed to ABC News.
In fact, there were so many autopsies to do on June 1 that Chief Cook County medical examiner, Dr. Ponni Arunkumar, had to call in additional pathologists to complete them all. The medical examiner’s office conducted a total of 35 autopsies on that day, including 15 gun-related homicides, a spokeswoman for the office told ABC News on Tuesday.
“This is an unprecedented amount of homicides in one day for our office,” Arunkumar said in a statement. “The most I can recall in one day since I started here in 2003 is 10.”
