Today, my heart is with the family of Julian Mobley, a CTA employee who was senselessy murdered while selflessly stepping in to protect a fellow colleague. We are working with the Chicago Police Department and CTA to ensure the perpetrator is brought to justice for this abhorrent act of violence. My administration remains committed to doing everything in our power to ensure safety on the CTA for its commuters and its committed employees who make public transit possible.
Julian embodied the best of Chicago. His courage, compassion, and willingness to stand up for others in a moment of need reflect the strength and humanity that define our city.
Behind every tragedy is a family whose world has been changed forever. Our thoughts and prayers are with Julian’s wife and two children as they navigate this profound loss. They are not alone. Their city stands with them during this difficult time.
