Chicago police did not rule out Joyner’s involvement in other hate crimes and random acts of violence on the North Side. But at this time, police say they don’t have any direct links to Joyner in those cases.
Joyner has a previous criminal history. According to police, the 23-year-old suspect has been arrested four times, twice for gun offenses.
The shooting happened in the same block where Haines Elementary School is located. Witnesses said that children at the school were going to recess at the time of the shooting.
