   Bloody Chicago recorded 18 murders on May 31, making it the   
   city’s deadliest day in 60 years.   
      
   The dubious milestone was reached on a day Chicago was roiled by   
   another round of protests and looting following the Memorial Day   
   death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis.   
      
   The 18 deaths tallied by the University of Chicago Crime Lab   
   made May 31, 2020 the single-most violent day in six decades,   
   the Chicago Sun-Times reported Monday. The Crime Lab numbers go   
   back only to 1961.   
      
   On May 29 and May 30, there were seven murders. In a city with   
   an international reputation for crime, the 25 murders on those   
   three days made for the most violent weekend in Chicago’s modern   
   history, according to the paper.   
      
   “We’ve never seen anything like it, at all,” the crime lab’s   
   senior research director, Max Kapustin, told the newspaper. “I   
   don’t even know how to put it into context. It’s beyond anything   
   that we’ve ever seen before.”   
      
   Chicago’s next most violent day was Aug. 4, 1991, when 13   
   murders were recorded.   
      
   “The level of activity experienced over the last week has been   
   unprecedented and the Department is actively investigating   
   multiple incidents across the city and working to determine the   
   motives in these cases,” Chicago Police spokesman Thomas Ahern   
   told the Sun-Times.   
      
   He said the department was “actively working to seek justice for   
   all the residents impacted, especially those who have been   
   killed or injured by these senseless acts of violence.”   
      
   Those killed on May 31 include Keishanay Bolden, an 18-year-old   
   student at Western Illinois University studying law enforcement   
   and justice. She wanted to be a corrections officer.   
      
   She was fatally shot during an argument in the Englewood   
   neighborhood where she grew up, the paper reported.   
      
   Among those paying tribute to Bolden on the WIU website was   
   Rebekah Buchanan, an English professor, who said "Keishanay   
   always had a smile on her face and a contagious laugh. Not only   
   was she fun to have in class, she was dedicated to learning and   
   her community. This is tragic."   
      
   Another 18-year-old student was also killed that day.   
      
   Police said Lazarra Daniels, a student at DRW College Prep in   
   Lawndale, was shot to death.   
      
   Principal Tony Sutton broke the news of her death to Daniels'   
   classmates in a social media post. He said her death was “an   
   incalculable loss for her family and one that will pain those   
   who loved Lazarra for a long time.”   
      
   Angelo Bronson, a 36-year-old father of two young children, was   
   gunned down in a drive-by shooting.   
      
   He lived in Washington and was spending the weekend in Chicago   
   visiting family, the paper reported.   
      
   “Just about the last person I could have thought this would   
   happen to was Angelo,” his longtime friend Ali Evans said,   
   according to the paper. “The man was so calm and quick to laugh,   
   too. I just can’t believe we’re talking about him in the past   
   tense.”
