The man wanted in connection with two early morning shootings of women in the south suburbs has been arrested, Oak Forest police said this afternoon.
For the millionth time a very dangerous career criminal and felon was released early from prison only to wreak havoc on the taxpaying public... And when a police agency deems a black subject ARMED AND DANGEROUS to the public... THEY MEAN IT...
Oak Forest police issued an alert this morning for a man described as "armed and extremely dangerous" in connection with two early morning shootings of women in the south suburbs.
Tonnisha Johnson, 28, of Hazel Crest, was found shot at about 1:35 a.m. in the 15400 block of Cicero Avenue in Oak Forest. She is in critical condition at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.
Another woman was shot at 4:30 a.m. in Markham, Oak Forest police said. Further information on that shooting was not immediately available.
The suspect was identified as Terrell Randall, 32, who police said was driving a beige 1999 Chevrolet Malibu with Illinois license plate A174244.
He is described as black, 140 pounds, 5-foot-4 with black hair and brown eyes. He has a tattoo reading "Terrell" on his upper left arm and another on his chest of three stars and the words "Terror-Town79."
Johnson identified Randall as her assailant, police said. No warrant has been issued, but "we have probable cause to arrest him," said Oak Forest Police Chief Greg Anderson.
"Randall should be considered armed and extremely dangerous and should not be approached," police said, asking that anyone with information call 911.
Randall has been convicted four times for weapons offenses and five times on drug charges, police said. He was released on parole on May 16, having served two years of a four-year sentence on a gun conviction, according to the Illinois Department of Corrections.
"I am outraged that such a dangerous felon would be released from prison after serving only a short time with the Department of Corrections," Anderson said. "These shootings could have been prevented if dangerous criminals such as Randall would have served more of their sentence."
