Graphic Video Shows Kamari McMillen Found Dead on CTA Red Line Platform at 69th Street Station
CHICAGO, IL – A disturbing video has surfaced showing the aftermath of a fatal shooting on the CTA Red Line platform at 69th Street Station, where a woman was found dead after being shot in the neck.
Authorities have identified the victim as Kamari McMillen, believed to be between 25 and 35 years old.
The shooting occurred around 9:46 p.m. Tuesday when McMillen became engaged in an argument with another woman on the platform, according to police.
During the dispute, the suspect pulled out a firearm and shot McMillen once in the neck before fleeing the scene.
A single bullet shell casing can be seen in the video footage taken at the scene.
Emergency responders transported McMillen to the University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition, but despite medical intervention, she was later pronounced deceased.
Chicago Police Department’s Area One detectives have launched an investigation into the fatal shooting and are actively searching for the female suspect involved.
At this time, no arrests have been made, and authorities have not released a description of the shooter.
The motive behind the argument remains unclear, and it is unknown whether McMillen and the suspect had any prior relationship.
Investigators are working to determine whether surveillance cameras captured the incident or if there were any witnesses on the platform during the shooting.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Chicago police or provide an anonymous tip through CrimeStoppers.
AUSTIN, Texas — A man was taken into custody Saturday afternoon following a shooting inside the Austin Central Library that left one person seriously injured and prompted a large emergency response and temporary shelter-in-place order in the downtown area.
According to the Austin Police Department (APD), officers responded shortly after 12:00 p.m. to reports of gunfire inside the Austin Central Library, located at 710 W. César Chávez Street.
Upon arrival, police and Austin-Travis County EMS units found one victim suffering from a gunshot wound.
The individual was transported to a local hospital in serious but stable condition.
Assistant Police Chief Lee Rogers stated during a press briefing that the shooter fled the scene before officers arrived.
After an extensive search, the suspect—identified as 55-year-old Harold Newton Keene—was located and arrested in South Austin at approximately 1:25 p.m.
The library was safely evacuated, and the shelter-in-place alert was lifted shortly after Keene’s apprehension.
Authorities emphasized that the shooting appeared to be an isolated incident involving only one suspect and one victim.
“This was not an active shooter situation,” Rogers confirmed.
Preliminary reports and public records reveal that Harold Newton Keene has a lengthy criminal history, including multiple arrests for assault, family violence, terroristic threats, burglary, drug possession, and evading arrest.
He is described by law enforcement officials as a habitual violent offender who has had numerous prior run-ins with police.
Records indicate Keene was previously arrested for threatening a man with a firearm several months ago and, in a separate incident, assaulted another inmate while in custody at the Travis County Jail.
In both cases, prosecutors later declined to pursue charges.
Authorities have not yet released a possible motive for the shooting or confirmed whether the suspect and victim knew each other.
The Austin Police Department’s Major Crimes Division is leading the investigation.
Anyone with information related to the incident is urged to contact the Austin Police Department or Crime Stoppers at 512-472-TIPS.
