Chicago authorities are searching for a suspect accused of fatally shooting a woman during a botched robbery attempt over the weekend as criminals terrorize the city where Trump has threatened to move federal forces in.

A 31-year-old woman was killed after being shot in the chest during an attempted robbery in the city’s South Side on Saturday night, according to FOX 32. 

Police were reportedly called to the scene around 8:40 p.m., where they encountered the woman with a gunshot wound.

Two days later, a man wearing all-black clothing entered the same bar and snuck into an employee-only section, where he began rifling through a woman’s purse. A 30-year-old female staff member reportedly confronted the individual, who subsequently bodyslammed the woman to the ground before making off with her belongings. 

Authorities are still searching for both suspects. 

“Small businesses in Chicago continue to suffer daily, and staff and patron safety are a top priority,” the bar said in a statement, according to FOX 32. “The Dandy Crown will implement security measures, but more needs to be done by the city of Chicago.”

President Donald Trump previously named Chicago as a city that could face federal intervention because of crime, similar to how federal authorities have stepped in to help combat crime in Washington, D.C.

The Chicago Police Department did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
