The dispatch center informed officers that an elderly male had been punched and was laying on the elevated train tracks. An offender description was given to the responding police officers.<\/p>\n<p>Officers located the victim lying on the train tracks. Tommie O. Carter, age 39 of Chicago was found on the train platform and matched the description of the offender given. Officers approached Carter and attempted to place him in custody. Carter defied verbal orders, actively resisted arrest and fought with officers trying to secure him in handcuffs. Officers of the River Forest Police Department arrived to assist in the arrest of Carter. After being placed in custody, Carter spit on an officer and remained resistant.<br \/>\nOfficers tended to the victim who was transported to Loyola Hospital by a Forest Park Fire Department ambulance to treat the injuries that they received as a result of Carter\u2019s alleged violent and unprovoked actions.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation revealed that the victim nearly struck the \u201cthird rail\u201d and that an outbound CTA elevated train was approaching the Harlem Avenue terminal. The train conductor witnessed the incident and saw that the victim on the train tracks was immobilized. They stopped the train to avoid striking the victim.<\/p>\n<p>The Forest Park Police Department\u2019s Criminal Investigations Division worked together with the Cook County State\u2019s Attorney\u2019s office and after interviewing witnesses and revieing video, the following, felony charges against Tommie O. Carter were approved:<\/p>\n<p>1 Count of Attempt Murder<br \/>\n3 Counts of Aggravated Battery to a Police Officer<\/p>\n<p>Carter will be transported to the Maybrook Square Courthouse on December 3, 2025 for a pretrial release hearing<br \/>\n###<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t<article class=\"elementor-post elementor-grid-item post-13434 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-latest-news\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__text\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-post__title\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forestpark.net\/dfp\/statement-on-recent-federal-immigration-enforcement-activity\/\" >\n\t\t\t\tStatement on Recent Federal Immigration Enforcement Activity\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__meta-data\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-post-date\">\n\t\t\tOctober 8, 2025\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forestpark.net\/dfp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/VoFP-Statement-on-Recent-Federal-Immigration-Activity100725-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Village of Forest Park Statement on Recent Federal Immigration Activity &#8211; PDF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Village of Forest Park is aware of recent immigration enforcement actions being conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal agencies in surrounding communities. These operations are being carried out without prior notice or communication to the Village. At this time, Village officials are not aware of any Forest Park residents having been detained.<\/p>\n<p>We want to reassure our community that under the Illinois TRUST Act, Forest Park Police are prohibited from participating in or assisting with federal immigration enforcement. All of our officers are trained in the requirements of the TRUST Act, which clearly states that while local police enforce state laws and local ordinances, they do not engage in immigration enforcement. This distinction is important: our officers are here to protect and serve the community, not to enforce federal immigration laws.<\/p>\n<p>If you call 911, Forest Park Police will respond independently\u2014without ICE involvement. Officers will not ask about immigration status, and no one will be detained solely based on that status. The Department does not assist in immigration investigations.<\/p>\n<p>For residents seeking support or legal guidance, the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR) offers a free hotline at 855-435-7693, connecting callers with immigration attorneys and resources on how to handle interactions with federal officers.<\/p>\n<p>The Village continues to collaborate with neighboring communities and local leaders to ensure our approach reflects regional best practices. We are committed to transparency, community engagement, and peaceful expression. If residents choose to demonstrate, we encourage respectful and peaceful participation.

Witnesses told responding officers that they heard approximately three gunshots and observed a maroon Chevrolet fleeing the area.<br \/>\nForest Park Police Officers canvassed the area for security cameras and located several in the area with a number of cooperative residents sharing video footage with the police department. Street cameras and license plate readers (LPRs) were also viewed in an effort to identify the vehicle involved in this reckless shooting incident.<br \/>\nThe Forest Park Police Department\u2019s Criminal Investigations Division diligently viewed video footage and learned that the suspect vehicle was registered to an address in Berwyn, IL.<br \/>\nAt approximately 3:49pm on July 23, 2024, detectives and patrol officers pulled the suspect vehicle over in the area of Roosevelt Rd and Desplaines Ave. The driver, 34 year old Idaly Canizales of Berwyn, IL, was found to not have a valid Illinois driver\u2019s license. Canizales, who does not have a Firearms Owner Identification Card (FOID) or Concealed Carry License (CCL), told officers that there was a firearm in the vehicle.
