Police responded to a reported kidnapping Sunday in the 5500 block of North Austin Avenue about 4:39 p.m. where a witness said they saw a woman and child being forced into an SUV by two men, police said.
On May 21, 1924, Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb kidnapped Bobby Franks and bludgeoned him to death. The "thrill killing," one of many to be dubbed "the crime of the century," remains a puzzle.
A boy, 15, was in an alley near the 3800 block of West Lawrence Avenue at 3 p.m. when someone in a black sedan drove by and shot at him, hitting him in the left leg, police said.
He was in good condition after the apparent drive-by shooting.
