Shooter methodically killed 4 on Blue Line train without provocation, prosecutor says

The rampage that ended in three men and a woman shot to death on the Blue Line early Monday began in the last row of a car as the train neared the Forest Park station.

Standing by an unoccupied conductor’s booth, Rhanni Davis aimed at a sleeping 52-year-old man and shot him once in the head and once in the torso, prosecutors said during a detention hearing on Wednesday.

Davis allegedly turned to Simeon Bihesi, 28, also asleep, and shot him twice before walking to the middle of the car where Margaret Johnson, 64, was sitting. Davis “put the gun to victim Johnson’s head and shot her one time in the back of her head,” Assistant Cook County State’s Attorney Eugene Wood said.

Davis crossed into another train car and shot Adrian Collins, 60, as he tried to defend himself by raising his hand, prosecutors said.

Six shots were fired in all.

Judge Elizabeth Ciaccia-Lezza ordered Davis held in custody pending trial on four counts of first-degree murder. She cited the apparent unprovoked and random nature of the attack as the “definition of dangerous.”
