South Peoria and 95th streets in the Washington Heights neighborhood are now the site of Lt. Dwain P. Williams Way.
CHICAGO -- A retired Chicago Fire Department lieutenant was honored Saturday, more than a year after he was fatally shot during an attempted carjacking on Chicago's South Side.
City leaders and firefighters stood beside Williams' family Saturday afternoon as the honorary sign was unveiled. Its namesake is for a man who is remembered by his family as a talented musician and his work in trying to address gun violence in the city.
