The first fatal shooting happened just before 9:30 p.m. on Monday on the 2500 block of South Karlov Avenue in Little Village. Three men fired 23 shots into a car where a 33-year-old man was sitting in the rear passenger seat.

The man was shot in the head and pronounced dead at the scene. The gunmen drove away in a blue truck.

The second homicide happened two hours later on the 2500 block of East 84th Street around 11:30 p.m. Police responded to a person shot and found a 54-year-old man on the sidewalk with a gunshot wound to the chest.

Mayor Beetlejuice has turned the city into a hell hole for black people. I guess that makes her a racist.
