Chicago Letter Carrier Shot 26 Times in Chicago — Who Ordered Her Murder?

#TrueCrimeDocumentary #TrueCrime #OctaviaRedmond Chicago USPS letter carrier Octavia Redmond was shot 26 times on her mail route in broad daylight. Two years later, prosecutors say they've identified the man they believe paid for her murder. On July 19, 2024, Redmond was delivering mail in Chicago's West Pullman neighborhood when a masked gunman stepped out of a stolen Dodge Durango and opened fire. Nothing was taken — it wasn't a robbery. Phone records later showed someone tracking her route in real time and feeding her location to the shooter as she worked. Two months later, a 15-year-old was arrested in Iowa and charged as a juvenile with first-degree murder. But the coordination behind the killing — the surveillance, the stolen vehicle, the burned getaway car, a $1,500 payment — pointed to someone else pulling the strings. This video covers the full case: the shooting, the investigation, the cooperating witness who named names, and the August 2026 arrest of the man now charged with orchestrating Redmond's murder. We also cover what still hasn't been answered — why Octavia Redmond, specifically, was chosen. Octavia was 48. A wife, a mother of three, a grandmother, a USPS carrier for five years. Her case sits inside a larger pattern — over 150 Chicago letter carriers attacked since 2022, and more than 2,000 nationwide since 2020, with only a small fraction of attackers ever prosecuted.
