Transit worker allegedly killed by felon on electronic monitoring

Julian Mobley, a 41-year-old janitor for the Chicago Transit Authority, was stabbed and killed at the Damen Green Line station by Chevazz Campbell, 37, who authorities said was on electronic monitoring at the time. The attack occurred just before 3 p.m. on Thursday, according to FOX 32 Chicago.

Campbell is accused of entering the station through the fare gate without paying, which led to an argument with Mobley. Prosecutors alleged that Campbell sprayed Mobley in the face with mace twice before stabbing him in the neck. Fox News Digital reports that Chicago Police said Campbell allegedly robbed the victim before being taken into custody hours later.

The suspect faces charges including first-degree murder, armed robbery, and felon in possession of a weapon. According to FOX 32, Campbell had at least four probation violations filed against him for curfew violations prior to the attack. He was under electronic monitoring when he allegedly carried out the murder.

The Amalgamated Transit Union Local 308 issued a statement describing Mobley as a husband and father who died a hero while trying to stop an attack on a fellow member over a fare dispute. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson stated that his administration remains committed to ensuring safety for CTA commuters and employees. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Chicago Transit Authority for comment.
