CHICAGO – The looting that accompanied protests over the death of a black suspect while in police custody in Minnesota spilled over to the Ukrainian Village neighborhood in Chicago on May 31-June 1.

The establishments that were looted all sold liquor, except for a cell phone store and gas station that was struck two consecutive days. Two businesses – a fresh fruit and vegetables grocery and a liquor store – remained shuttered as of June 4. Those businesses were not owned by Ukrainians, but a Polish-owned deli that reopened employs Ukrainians, who also make up a large portion of the clientele.

Vandalism was seen at one condominium unit in the neighborhood and no injuries were reported.
