From Wikipedia:
"Alfred "Jake" Lingle, Jr. (July 2, 1891 - June 9, 1930) was a reporter for the Chicago Tribune. He was shot dead gangland-style at the Illinois Central commuter train station underpass,[1] during rush hour on June 9, 1930, as dozens of people watched. The man convicted of the murder was a German-American mob associate, Leo Vincent Brothers.
Lingle was initially lionized as a martyred journalist, but it was eventually revealed that he was involved in racketeering with the Capone organization, and that his death had more to do with his own criminal activities than his journalism."
