CHICAGO -- At least 23 people have been shot, four fatally, in weekend shootings across Chicago, police said.

A $7,000 reward is being offered for any information leading to the arrest of the person who police said shot and killed 3-year-old Mateo Zastro, leaving his family torn. It all unfolded at about 8:30 p.m. on Friday night, with an apparent road rage incident near Cicero Avenue and West 71st Street on Chicago's Southwest Side, police said.

"The mother attempted to flee from the other vehicle of the road rage incident," said 8th District Chicago Police Department Commander Bryan Spreyne.

But, she didn't get far, making it only blocks away to Marquette Road near Kildare Avenue, where the mother was tracked down and shots were fired, police said. A nearby home, was riddled with bullets after someone in the backseat of a red sedan took aim at the mom's car.

A bullet struck little Mateo in the head. The mother kept driving, ending up at South Pulaski Road near West 66th Place, police said. Her son was taken to Christ Hospital, where he died hours later, early Saturday morning.

A man was shot during an attempted robbery early Saturday in Kenwood on the South Side. About 12:45 a.m., the man 29, was walking in the 1400-block of East 47th Street when he was shot as two suspects were trying to rob him, police said.

Hours later, a person was found shot to death in a South Loop home. The male, whose age wasn't known, was found with a gunshot wound to the head about 11:40 a.m. inside a home in the 2000-block of South Michigan Avenue, Chicago police said.

“Halftime Score.”

Well, the Bears have always sucked. Now the rest of Chicago is catching up.

Keep voting Democrat, ChicagoLand! And thanks for spreading your lawless, Socialist CANCER up here in Wisconsin, too!

It’s almost pointless to post this stuff anymore. The cops are probably little more than spectators/recorders at this point.

Welp... It’s unfortunate the innocence lost to collateral damage and no black leaders are valiantly standing up to their own scum, but on the bright side the feral populations are slowly diminishing...

Do black lives matter to anyone other than conservatives?
