[UPDATE] Latest CTA Mugging Victim Related To Billy Corgan

By Tankboy in News on Jun 9, 2011 4:50PM

Earlier this morning Billy Corgan sent out word via Twitter that "my little brother Jesse was attacked and robbed this morning by 3 men." Shortly afterward we saw a report via The Trib that a 35-year-old Evanston man was attacked on a train on his way into work this morning. Since the victim's name hasn't been released yet we're not sure if the two are one and the same, but since Corgan's brother is 35 and lives in Evanston we're guessing it is. Either way, this is just bad news all around.

UPDATE: It's been confirmed by Red Eye that the victim of the mugging was Billy Corgan's brother, Jesse Andersen.
