Illinois encampment and local crimes shake Joliet area
Joliet hosts the forty fourth annual encampment preparations with plans for May or June dates and elections for senior and junior vice commanders. In Chicago and suburbs, multiple violent incidents unfold including a mysterious death linked to a possible pneumonia, a shooting following an alleged attack near Elston and Inhawk, a fatality from a road incident near Madison and Curtis, and a fatality after a vehicle overturn near Gibson City. Separate cases report a prison term in a homicide case near a county line, a jealous-tinged highway holdup near Marion, and a stabbing clash between two men over a woman in Chicago with two men hospitalized. An ex-mail carrier is arrested for alleged long-running thefts from the post office.
