Overview

  • The latest tag was found Aug. 25 on the 1300 block of East 53rd Street, bringing the total to eight incidents since late June, according to police.
  • CPD listed dates and blocks across University Avenue and the 53rd–55th Street corridors, including two incidents logged on July 22.
  • Investigators labeled the vandalism hate crimes and criminal damage to property, and no arrests have been announced.
  • At least two tags were recorded near KAM Isaiah Israel, intensifying worry given the proximity to a house of worship.
  • Some messages included explicit calls for violence such as “Kill all Jews,” a local rabbi reported, as police ask residents to save surveillance video, call 312-747-8380, or submit tips at CPDTIP.com with reference P25-1-073C.
