John Kesse

Not long after taxi driver John Kesse killed Eric Kerestes last summer, another of Kesse’s victims contacted me. On August 14 the cabbie was speeding down Milwaukee Avenue at 6 a.m. when he blew through the Milwaukee/Chicago/Ogden intersection, jumped a curb and struck Kerestes, who was walking to the Blue Line’s Chicago station. The pedestrian was thrown 200 feet; he died at the scene.
