Chicago has seen its share of crime, but not every incident makes the headlines. A recent battery case has come to light, involving an individual identified as 32-year-old William Livingston of the 8500 block of S. Saginaw Ave. According to the Chicago Police Department, Livingston has been charged with two counts of felony aggravated battery in a public place.
The incident that brought these charges occurred on June 12, 2025, and unfolded in the 2700 block of N. Clark St., within the 19th District of Chicago. The arrest was not immediate; it came months later, on November 12, with the assistance of the U.S. Marshals Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force. This collaborative law enforcement effort found Livingston in the 2600 block of S. California Blvd., placing him under arrest a day before his detention hearing was set.
The two victims, women aged 40 and 29, were reportedly struck by Livingston, an action which led to the charges filed against him. Details of their condition following the incident were not made available to the public. In the wake of the arrest, Livingston's detention hearing was scheduled for today at the courthouse located at 2600 S. California.
