The Lincoln Park neighborhood has been known as a very young and upbeat area of Chicago. As a student at DePaul University, I have become very familiar with the community’s renowned nightlife. However, this neighborhood has recently been getting some infamous media coverage.
There has been a reported seven muggings this past summer. All of the victims have been male, early to mid-twenties and severely beaten in the head and face for their wallets.
This has been off-putting to most people on or around DePaul University’s campus. Chicago Police have linked five of the muggings but due to insufficient evidence have failed to find the attacker(s). The other two muggings were confirmed to be unrelated.
Below is map showing the exact location of each of the muggings. Be sure to take extra precautionary measures when walking especially when alone at late hours.
