of DSTRKT Bar and Grill, located at 1540 North Milwaukee Avenue, after calling it a public safety threat. The bar has since reopened.One person was killed and four others wounded in a drive-by shooting Sunday morning on Milwaukee Avenue in Wicker Park. They were among more than 40 people shot over the holiday weekend.
The shooting that led to closing of The Point happened near closing time on Feb. 6, 2022. A patron entered The Point, at 1565 N. Milwaukee Ave., with three other men. They were patted down, checked with a handheld metal detector and their IDs were scanned, the lawsuit said. The group left about 4:50 a.m. About 15 minutes later, one of the men stood across the street and fired at least 10 shots into the bar, striking a man in the face, authorities said. It was the second shooting outside the bar in four months.
Days later, the business was ordered closed by Brown. The Point owner Jun Lin chose to fight the shutdown order instead of agreeing to a "nuisance abatement plan."
