The family of an assistant principal who was shot and killed inside a residential building in the Loop used a Friday public rally to call on Chicago police and the Cook County state’s attorney’s office to press criminal charges against the alleged gunman. Abnerd Joseph, 32, was fatally shot Sept. 14 around 7:30 p.m. in a hallway on the 48th floor of a building in the first block of East Monroe Street, which police listed as his address.
Joseph worked as an assistant principal at the Intrinsic Schools’ downtown campus, where some students. About 20 of Joseph’s relatives and friends spent the day handing out flyers outside the building at 60 E. Monroe St., saying they wanted to bring attention to the case. The group carried signs with color photos of Joseph’s body beside one of him dressed in a tuxedo, chanting “Justice for Abnerd” to passersby
