FOX 32: Chicago Police Investigating After Bullet Holes Found at a Muslim-owned Martial Arts Studio

A spokesperson for the Chicago office of The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Chicago) says the video showed flashes coming out of that vehicle. The Council says it should be considered a ‘hate crime’ because the studio’s owner is a well known Muslim-American personality. The studio is also a gathering place for the Muslim community. Police are still investigating.

In a statement, owner Eddie Redzovic said "It's heartbreaking to see acts of violence like this in our beautiful city of Chicago, especially when they may be driven by hatred toward Muslims and Islam, as seen in a similar attack on a mosque nearby. I trust that our Mayor and Police Chief will bring those responsible to justice, ensuring the safety of our community. Instead of terrorizing us, we invite these individuals to visit the mosque, get to know us, and embrace love over hate, which is what the world truly needs”.

If you have any information, contact CPD or reach out to us at CAIR-Chicago 312-212-1520.

Let's ensure our communities are safe.
