Six people have been killed, including a 15-year-old boy, and at least 44 other people have been wounded in Chicago shootings throughout the Memorial Day weekend. The shootings happened between 6 p.m. Friday and 3 a.m. Tuesday, with a late surge of violence leaving 13 people shot in less than four hours Monday night.
The most recent fatal shooting happened around 2:45 a.m. Tuesday.
A 21-year-old man was inside a vehicle when someone fire shots at the car, striking the man multiple times, once in the back and through his heart, police said. The man was taken to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County where he was pronounced dead.
The shooting marked the first fatality since about 9:50 p.m. Sunday, when a 17-year-old boy was shot dead and two other people wounded in the South Side Englewood neighborhood. Two 17-year-old boys and a 20-year-old man were standing in the street in the 6900 block of South Harvard when a male approached them and opened fire, according to Chicago Police. One of the teenage boys was shot in the head and pronounced dead at the scene. The Cook County medical examiner’s office did not immediately release his identity. The other teenage boy was shot in the left shoulder and taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, and the 20-year-old man went to Stroger Hospital with a gunshot wound to the abdomen. Both of their conditions had stabilized.
