CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) - Members of a South Side church took their prayers Sunday outside the hospital where their deacon is fighting for his life after a possible road rage incident a week ago.
The prayer vigil outside University of Chicago Medical Center had members of Pleasant Green Missionary Baptist Church calling for healing, support and justice for Deacon Steve Strode. During the vigil that was shared to Facebook, his wife Monique Strode pleaded for those with information to share it with police.
"Our family does not deserve this. He does not deserve this," Monique Strode said.
ABC-7 reported Strode's family believes he was rear-ended on the Dan Ryan December 10 and, when he pulled over, people in the other car attacked him. Police found him behind his car, on the ground, near Marquette and Wabash, beaten and not able to speak.
No arrests have been made.
