Yesterday afternoon, the streets of Chicago's 800 block of E. 91st St. witnessed the climax of a long-unfolding drama when Ramone Bradley, 26, was arrested by the Vehicular Hijacking Task Force. The arrest occurred at 2:48 PM, nearly two years after the initial incident which took place on November 3, 2022. According to the Chicago Police Department, Bradley is charged with one felony count of armed robbery with a firearm and one felony count of attempted vehicular hijacking with aggravation due to the use of a firearm.
The case, which has haunted a 43-year-old male victim for nearly two years, took a step toward closure as the alleged perpetrator stood behind the charges today. Bradley, whose residence is listed on the 800 block of E. 90th Pl. in Chicago, Illinois, has been identified as one of the individuals who took the victim's vehicle and personal possessions at gunpoint in the 5th District. The case is under the jurisdiction of a detention hearing scheduled for today at 2600 S. California.
Details of the arrest have not been extensively disclosed, but the involvement of the Vehicular Hijacking Task Force indicates the seriousness with which Chicago law enforcement is treating these types of crimes. The task force, known for its focused approach to carjacking incidents, seems to have secured a win with this apprehension. However, the Chicago Police Department has stated that no additional information is available at this time.
The detention hearing today will determine if Bradley will be held pending trial or if he will be released on bond.
