Storefront windows were also shot out on the block, but no other injuries were reported.EMS took the injured man to St. Francis Hospital in Evanston, where he died.Court records show the victim was arrested earlier this year for allegedly robbing a man at the Granville Red Line station earlier this year. He was on parole for robbing yet another CTA passenger at, coincidentally, the Morse Red Line station in 2020.When prosecutors charged him with the Granville robbery earlier this year, a Cook County judge initially held the man in custody as a public safety threat. Earlier this month, though a different judge, Carol Howard, released the man from all restrictions, allowing him to roam the streets and CTA while his latest robbery case proceeded.CWBChicago will post a fuller profile of the man after he is publicly identified.So far this year, 22 people have been shot in Rogers Park, down from 29 at this point last year. The neighborhood saw 24 people shot as of this date in 2022 and 18 during the comparable period in 2021.</div></body>
