Judge’s Gun Reappears at Chicago Crime Scene

Chicago police face scrutiny for their lack of investigation after a gun, previously handed over by Cook County Judge William Stewart Boyd for destruction, was discovered at the scene of a fatal shooting in Cicero in 2012. The revolver, a Smith & Wesson .38-caliber, was among the more than 5,900 firearms collected during a city-sponsored buyback event, aimed at reducing street violence. Despite prompting an internal investigation, police reportedly made no effort to interview Judge Boyd or any officers involved, ultimately closing the case without determining how the weapon resurfaced.

In the aftermath, Boyd expressed his disbelief that the gun could end up in a crime setting after being turned in for destruction. The incident has sparked significant concern, particularly after revelations that the internal investigation was never fully pursued, leading to allegations of mismanagement and oversight within the Chicago Police Department. The case reflects broader issues regarding police accountability and the effectiveness of gun buyback programs meant to enhance public safety.
