Miguel Salgado, the owner of Angel's Tire Shop on 18th Street, said a customer had just pulled up for what should have been a quick fix Sunday morning when the incident happened.Seconds after the driver got out to greet employees, a blue sedan pulls up and out of view from surveillance cameras. Before you can even see a gun, the customer and employees' hands shoot into the air in apparent immediate surrender.
Southwest Side community leaders said vendors, who work to cobble together a humble living with just cash, are being targeted and terrorized. "The worst part of all, I'll be completely transparent, is that when the street vendors have complained to the city about the issue of public safety, they have not deployed more safety, they have deployed more inspectors. And that is a tragedy," Sigcho-Lopez said.Copyright © 2023 WLS-TV. All Rights Reserved.
