On January 29, 2019, American actor Jussie Smollett went to Chicago police and alleged he was assaulted during the early morning hours at the 300 block of East Lower North Water Street in Chicago's Streeterville by two people he described as white men who physically attacked him after racial and homophobic slurs, poured an unknown chemical substance, possibly bleach, on him and tied a rope around his neck.
On February 13, 2019, Chicago police raided the home of two Nigerian-American brothers who had worked with Smollett as extras on the set of his television show. Police recovered records indicating the brothers were paid $3,500 by Smollett and had purchased the rope found around Smollett's neck at a hardware store in Ravenswood over the weekend of January 25.
