Police data show Chicago's West Ridge has become a hotbed of anti-Jewish hate crimes

Anti-Jewish hate crimes rose sharply in Chicago this year, with 70 documented incidents, a 46% increase over last year's high of 48, with two months left to go in 2024.

According to a CBS News Data Team analysis of Chicago Police hate crimes data, the West Ridge community has recorded a dozen anti-Jewish hate crimes so far this year, including two assaults, a bomb threat, and vandalism to property and a car.

West Ridge was shaken after a 39-year-old Jewish man was shot in the shoulder on Saturday. The suspect in that shooting, Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi, 22, allegedly opened fire on police and paramedics before being critically shot by police.
