Victim Background

Oh, don't worry tourists. It was just a prostitute:
  • Detectives are investigating whether a Dallas woman’s “high-risk lifestyle” figured into her murder in a Gold Coast luxury hotel, police sources said Tuesday.

    Brianna Gardner, 22, was found dead with a gunshot wound to the head at 10 a.m. Monday in a room in the Whitehall Hotel at 105 E. Delaware Pl.

    Court records show Gardner was arrested on a prostitution charge five days ago in Chicago. She was on the sidewalk soliciting men in cars and on foot at about 3:20 a.m. on Aug. 8 at 25 W. Hubbard, police said.

    She also was charged with prostitution in April in Harris County, Texas.

We suppose Rahm has to reassure the tourists that it's only whores and gang bangers getting killed in Chicago.
