Chicago Tower Killed

A Chicago tow truck driver was fatally shot on Sunday night, Nov. 13, according to Edwin Rivera, the manager of ASAP Towing and Recovery. He was shot in the armpit and then crashed into a bus stop. “I lost a great friend over stupidity,” Rivera said. “The guy didn’t do anything. He was just on his way home. He was only three minutes, seven blocks away from his house.”   

The victim, not yet identified, just started working at the company five days ago. 

“For over 20 years, he’s been towing,” Rivera said. 

Unknown individuals in two different cars began shooting at the victim and fled, police added. 

Rivera says the violence has forced him to take his own measures of precaution when working.   

“Every single day, I’m in a tow truck. I don’t even listen to music no more, so I can listen for gunshots because they’re out there, constantly out there,” Rivera said.  Source: wgntv.com
