  • Introduction to Video Content
  • A security guard tragically lost his life after a confrontation with teenagers near the Showplace Icon Theatre in the South Loop. On the eve of their 22nd wedding anniversary, Jackie Fisher's wife pleaded with him to take the day off, but he insisted on working. Little did she know that would be the last time she saw him alive. Fisher's wife expressed her concern about the increasing dangers he faced at work, particularly since a previous incident in February when he was beaten while enforcing the theater's new rules. These rules were implemented to restrict the entry of unaccompanied teenagers after 6 p.m. due to a rise in disruptive behavior. Despite the risks, Fisher remained dedicated to his job. This dedication ultimately cost him his life when he confronted a group of teenagers at the theater. He experienced a medical episode during the confrontation and later passed away at the hospital. The official cause of his death has not been disclosed by the medical examiner. This tragic incident has left Fisher's colleagues and loved ones devastated.
