Concert to raise money for teen shot as police chased robbery suspect
Posted November 26, 2019 12:00 am
A concert Saturday at a North Side music venue will raise money for Rylan Wilder, the 15-year-old guitar player struck by a stray bullet as Chicago and Des Plaines police pursued a bank robbery suspect into a music school.
The all-ages show at Martyrs', 3855 N. Lincoln Ave., will begin at 6 p.m. Saturday. Tickets are $10 at the door.
Rylan's band, Monarchy Over Monday, was one of four Chicago bands - mostly composed of high school students - booked weeks ago to perform Saturday.
The three remaining bands - Mock Nine, Friko and Neptune's Core - will play to raise money that will go toward a GoFundMe account benefitting Rylan that has raised more than $44,000 since it went live Sunday.
