A fatal shooting occurred aboard a CTA Pink Line train in the downtown Loop in the early morning of December 23, 2025. Around 1:30 a.m. Raymond S. Harrison Jr., 44, was riding near the 100 block of North Wells Street with a 23-year-old companion when a verbal dispute with a third individual armed with a knife escalated into a physical fight. During the struggle a firearm was produced, then taken by the man who had wielded the knife; that man discharged the weapon, striking Harrison in the abdomen and the younger man in the wrist.

Harrison was taken to Northwestern Hospital and later pronounced dead. The 23-year-old was hospitalized in fair condition. Officers collected shell casings and surveillance video from the train car, but the shooter fled before police arrived. No arrests had been announced and detectives continued to seek the person responsible.

Did anyone on that Pink Line train or nearby platforms see the incident or the suspect fleeing?
