A Chicago rapper’s foundation will be giving away thousands of shoes in a South Side neighborhood where a recent law enforcement sting using “bait trucks” to catch shoe thieves faced criticism.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that rapper Vic Mensa’s SaveMoneySaveLife foundation will give away shoes Sunday in the Englewood neighborhood.
The event comes after residents filmed police arresting a man and accused officers of trying to entrap poor residents with bait trucks.
Norfolk Southern Railroad organized the sting with assistance from the Chicago Police Department. The company has since apologized.
Foundation Co-Founder Laundi Keepseagle says the event will include multiple “anti-bait trucks” with gym shoes for everyone from toddlers to adults.
Mensa and Chance the Rapper will also be in attendance.
