Not likely. They don't happen in places where tourists and visitors are because those areas have a lot of people and police officers, 2 things must criminals don't want around when committing crimes.
Very little violent crime is random. Yes it happens but it's no more likely in Chicago than anywhere else. I've been in Chicago dozens of times and never felt close to threatened.

The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.
