In Chicago, Jewish community leaders are advocating for hate crime charges after a 39-year-old man wearing a kippah was shot by 22-year-old Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi. Following the shooting, Abdallahi fired at responding police and paramedics, prompting concern over a possible hate motive, especially following a rise in antisemitic incidents since October 7. Mayor Brandon Johnson faced backlash for not mentioning the victim's Jewish identity in his statement on the incident. Police investigations continue as the community seeks justice and safety assurances amid growing fears.
