Chicago has witnessed a grim chapter in its ongoing struggle with violent crime, as 36-year-old Andre Moses stands accused of the armed robbery of a senior citizen. Moses, a resident from the 2900 block of W. Polk in Chicago, Illinois, was charged with one felony count of armed robbery with a firearm and another count of robbing a victim who is either handicapped or over 60 years old, a particularly vulnerable demographic in these harrowing incidents. The charges stem from an incident that occurred on February 10, according to the Chicago Police Department's news release.
