A normal day in Chicago

Chicago-area police are investigating a double-murder that occurred when a 1-year-old child was kidnapped by his biological father.

Police said Clarence Hebron, 32, was being sought in the killing of his girlfriend and her brother.  The female victim was the mother of the kidnapped child, and Hebron was the father.

Illinois cops issued an Amber alert but canceled it 30 minutes later after the child was dropped off at a police station.  It's unclear who brought the boy to the station.  

Hebron had been released from prison after serving time for a series of violent crimes, the latest of which was what Chicago media described as a 2019 "incident" in which a woman was killed when Hebron crashed his car into hers while fleeing a traffic stop.  In other states that would be consiered negligent homicide, but since it was Chicago he was charged with reckless driving, was sentenced to six months and was released after 30 days after automatic credit for good behavior.

Hebron had been mentioned as a possible Biden/Harris pick to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.  The Office of the President-Elect declined to say whether Hebron was still being considered for that post.

Okay, that last is obviously sarc, but strikes most law-abiding Americans as plausible.
