Chicagoans 16 and younger must be accompanied by a “responsible adult” in order to visit Millennium Park after 6 p.m. Thursday through Sunday, Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced Sunday.The new rule comes less than 24 hours after a 16-year-old boy was shot and killed near “The Bean” sculpture.
Chicago Police Supt. David Brown said Sunday afternoon a 17-year-old boy was in custody in connection with the shooting but had not yet been charged. He had a gun when he was taken into custody, Brown said. “We, as a city, cannot allow any of our public spaces to become platforms for danger,” Lightfoot said. “Anyone coming into our public spaces should expect to enjoy them peacefully and must respect and exhibit basic community norms of decency. We simply will not accept anything less.”
