Eight cases of Legionnaires’ disease have been reported since August at a retirement community in west suburban Batavia.

The four latest cases at Covenant Living at the Holmstad, 700 W. Fabyan Parkway in Batavia, were reported to health officials this week, according to a statement from the Kane County Department of Public Health.

“Two cases were reported to us this week, we received word of an early-onset case from mid-August and an additional case reported this past Saturday,” Kane County Health Department Executive Director Barbara Jeffers said in a statement on Monday. “We are working closely with the Illinois Department of Public Health and Covenant Living to monitor this situation.”

The announcement came more than a week after an Aug. 31 statement announcing four initial cases of Legionnaires’ at the facility, health officials said.

Amanda Gosnell, executive director of the facility, said testing by the Illinois Department of Public Health is still pending to determine whether there’s a source of legionella bacteria on the Holmstad campus.

“Because the safety of our residents, guests, and employees is our top priority, we have proactively and aggressively moved forward with several of the measures that could potentially be advised in the event of a positive result,” Gosnell said in the statement. “We continue to collaborate closely with water management experts and state and the Kane County health departments and are following all recommendations; under their advisement, we continue to welcome visitors and maintain regular operations.”

Legionella bacteria are transmitted through water droplets in the air and can cause serious lung infections and death.

Illinois saw 512 reported cases of Legionnaires’ disease statewide in 2018, with 219 confirmed so far this year, the health department said.

UPDATES WITH AUTOPSY

A man was killed in a shooting Monday in South Shore.

Damon Chandler, 32, was driving about 3:10 a.m. in the 7500 block of South Coles Avenue when someone unleashed gunfire, Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said. He was struck in the head and crashed into a parked car.

Chandler, who lived in Chatham, was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 3:45 a.m., authorities said. An autopsy released Tuesday found he died from multiple gunshot wounds and ruled his death a homicide.

No one is in custody as Area South detectives investigate.

UPDATES WITH ID AND AUTOPSY

An 18-year-old man was shot to death Monday in the East Side neighborhood, according to police.

Dejuan A. Curry was standing on the street in the 10600 block of South Avenue O about 9 p.m. when he heard gunfire and realized he was shot, Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said.

He was struck in the abdomen and leg, and was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, authorities said. An autopsy released Tuesday found he died from his gunshot wounds and ruled his death a homicide.

Area South detectives are conducting a homicide investigation, police said.

UPDATES WITH ID AND AUTOPSY

A man was found shot to death Tuesday in Pilsen on the Near West Side.

About 1:25 a.m., officers responded to calls of shots fired in the 1600 block of South Loomis Street and found 18-year-old Eduardo Rendon with multiple gunshot wounds to the neck and chest, Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said. Over a dozen shell casings could be observed at the scene of the shooting.

He was taken to the University of Illinois in Chicago Hospital where he was pronounced dead, authorities said. An autopsy released Tuesday found he died from multiple gunshot wounds and ruled his death a homicide.

Five people were injured Tuesday in a vehicle crash in Lawndale on the West Side.

A Honda Civic was westbound about 4 p.m. in the 3400 block of West Ogden Avenue when it tried making a left turn on Homan Avenue, Chicago police said. It struck a Chevy Equinox traveling Eastbound on Ogden.

Three people in the Honda were taken to Stroger with injuries that were not life-threatening, police said. Two people in the Chevy were taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital with injuries that were also not life-threatening.

The driver of the Honda was cited for driving without driver’s license and driving without insurance.

Officials announced a plan to address potential flooding in Chicago from Lake Michigan as it nears record high water levels.

“Hundreds of yards” of jersey barriers will be installed along the lakefront this month to mitigate flooding at eight locations, the Chicago Department of Transportation said in a statement.

Water levels in Lake Michigan are at a “near-record” high due to a longer-term wet pattern, the National Weather Service said. The lake’s water level has increased six feet since January 2013, and 15 inches in the past year.

Barriers will be installed along Lake Shore Drive from Oak Street to North Avenue and at Fullerton Avenue, CDOT said. North Side installation locations will include Juneway Beach, Rogers Beach, Howard Beach and Granville Street. On the South Side, they will be installed from 49^th to 50^th Street and at 75^th Street.

Crews will work to install the barriers during overnight hours starting Tuesday, and the project is expected to be completed by the end of the month, CDOT said. Drivers traveling northbound on Lake Shore Drive may encounter lane closures when crews are working and are advised to use caution.

“Ensuring that the lakefront remains open and accessible to Chicagoans is a top priority for us,” Tom Carney, acting CDOT Commissioner said in the statement. “The lakefront path is a vital means of transportation, and one of the many things that makes Chicago such a unique city. This effort is only one of many projects that will protect our lakefront and residents.”

A suburban man has been sentenced to federal prison for using stolen credit card numbers to fund his luxurious lifestyle.

Cameron York, 28, was sentenced to eight and a half years in prison last week after pleading guilty earlier this year to charges of wire fraud, money laundering and aggravated identity theft, the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Northern District of Illinois said in a statement.

York, of west suburban Stone Park, allegedly used the stolen credit card numbers to make thousands of dollars of fraudulent charges for various items, including a Jaguar XJL and shoes from luxury brands Maison Margiela, Balenciaga and Louis Vuitton, prosecutors said. He did so between 2015 and 2018.

York allegedly spent about $164,598 to purchase at least 8,796 credit card account numbers, social security numbers and other identifying information from online sellers, sometimes using Bitcoin, prosecutors said. He attempted to use at least 4,800 of the credit card numbers to make purchases.

Prosecutors said York often bought items at high-end retailers and then boasted of the purchases on social media. The state’s attorney’s office shared several photos that York posted to Instragram and Facebook.

York also used the stolen information to open accounts at ComEd and Nicor Gas that racked up unpaid utility balances, prosecutors said.

Fifteen people were shot — two of them fatally — Tuesday in incidents of gun violence across Chicago, including an 18-year-old man who was gunned down in a Pilsen alleyway.

About 1:25 a.m., officers responded to calls of shots fired in the 1600 block of South Loomis Street and found Eduardo Rendon with multiple gunshot wounds to the neck and chest, Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said. Over a dozen shell casings could be observed at the scene of the shooting.

He was taken to the University of Illinois in Chicago Hospital where he was pronounced dead, authorities said. An autopsy released Tuesday found he died from multiple gunshot wounds and ruled his death a homicide.

The day’s first shooting claimed the life of a 27-year-old man in Vittum Park on the Southwest Side.

He was standing on the sidewalk about 12:45 a.m. in the 4700 block of South Cicero Avenue when someone walked up to him and opened fire, police said.

He was struck multiple times in the chest and rushed to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn where he was pronounced dead, police said.

An autopsy released Tuesday said he died from his gunshot wounds and ruled his death a homicide, the medical examiner’s office said. His identity has not been released.

In non-fatal incidents, seven people were wounded in less than an hour in a series of shootings across the West Side, including four teenage males shot in West Town.

A 17-year-old boy was shot in the leg and taken to Stroger Hospital, police said. Two men, 18 and 19 years old, were also taken to Stroger Hospital with gunshot wounds to the buttocks and legs, respectively. The fourth man, 18, was shot in the leg and taken to Mount Sinai Hospital.

All four have been stabilized and are expected to live, police said. Officers were not given a description of the shooter.

Minutes later, a 16-year-old boy was shot while on his bicycle in Garfield Park on the West Side.

He was sitting on the bike about 9:40 p.m. in the 3500 block of West Huron Street when someone pulled up in a gray SUV and unleashed gunfire, police said.

The teen was struck in the shoulder and ran away as the vehicle drove off, police said. He was taken to Stroger Hospital in serious condition.

About 20 minutes prior, a man and woman were shot in Austin on the West Side.

They were sitting on a front porch about 9:20 p.m. in the 600 block of North Long Avenue when several males approached them on foot and opened fire, police said.

A 69-year-old woman and 36-year-old man were both struck in their legs, police said. Their conditions were stabilized at Stroger Hospital.

Earlier in the day, a woman was critically injured inside an Englewood home when she was hit by stray gunfire in a shooting that also wounded a man outside.

The 21-year-old man was standing on the sidewalk at 12:49 p.m. in front of a house in the 7300 block of South Wolcott Avenue when a white sedan pulled up and two males inside started shooting, according to police.

He was hit in the abdomen and back, police said. The 35-year-old woman inside the house was hit in the head by a bullet that came through the front window.

They were both taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where the woman was in critical condition and the man was stabilized, police said.

The day’s other shooting victims include:

• A person shot about 8 p.m. on the Eisenhower Expressway near California Avenue in Lawndale on the West Side;
• A 39-year-old man shot about 10:05 a.m. in the 6800 block of South Evans Avenue in Park Manor on the South Side;
• A man, 54, shot in an attempted robbery about 2:30 a.m. in the 3600 block of West 59th Street in West Elsdon on the Southwest Side; and

He was rushed to Stroger Hospital in critical condition, police said.
