Good afternoon, Chicago.
Wentworth Area Detectives received an unusual phone call from a local defense attorney on Monday night: The attorney’s client was reporting a dead body in a Greater Grand Crossing apartment and wanted to turn himself in, according to a police report obtained by the Tribune.
After Grand Crossing (3rd) District police forced their way inside the apartment in the 500 block of East 72nd Street, they found the body of Terriyanna Johnson, 29, on the floor of the bedroom covered with a blanket, authorities said.
