Chicago CCW Food Vendor Fatally Shoots Armed Robber In Self-Defense

A Chicago food vendor, a concealed carry license holder, defended himself during an attempted robbery Friday night, leading to the death of the armed attacker. The vendor sustained a non-life-threatening injury and the case remains under investigation.


CHICAGO, IL (1-minute read) — A Chicago food vendor with a concealed carry license (CCL) defended himself during an attempted robbery Friday night in the South Austin neighborhood, according to police.

The incident occurred just before 9 p.m. on the 300 block of South Central Avenue. Police say a 30-year-old man, later identified as Demitrius Manning, approached the 35-year-old vendor, initiating a struggle. Manning reportedly drew a firearm, prompting the vendor to retrieve his own legally carried gun.

The confrontation escalated into an exchange of gunfire, during which Manning sustained multiple gunshot wounds. He was transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he later died. The food vendor suffered a gunshot wound to his right arm and was treated at Stroger Hospital.

Authorities have labeled the incident as an attempted robbery. Two firearms were recovered from the scene, and Area Four detectives are investigating. No charges have been filed against the vendor at this time, though the investigation is ongoing.

This event highlights the importance of self-defense for individuals working in vulnerable professions such as food vending. In this case, the vendor’s preparedness likely saved his life.

Safety Tip: Always remain aware of your surroundings, particularly in high-crime areas. If you choose to carry a firearm, ensure you are trained in its use and fully understand local laws.
