“An innocent dad was hit and killed by a suspect who police say was fleeing a smash-and-grab robbery on Chicago’s Magnificent Mile. Mark Arceta was driving his normal route to work at a local hospital when he was killed. The 40-year-old now leaves behind a baby boy, who was born just one day after his death. … The Chicago Police Department (CPD) says the suspect behind the wheel of the car, 30-year-old Dejuan Wingard, was driving nearly 100 mph at the time of the crash. Investigators say he was part of a theft crew that broke into a Louis Vuitton store on Michigan Avenue. The crime was caught on camera as one suspect was seen driving a truck through the store windows. The suspects then went inside and stole nearly $700,000 in merchandise, according to court records.” (09/17/25)
