The gray sedan was parked in the ambulance bay of the hospital, its doors open and bullet holes just above and below the driver's side window.
Minutes earlier, 15-year-old Fabien Lavinder was in the car on 89th Street when someone stepped from an alley near Commercial Avenue and shot him in the chest, Chicago police said. He died shortly before 11 p.m. Tuesday at Advocate Trinity Hospital.
Fabien was the 66th and final homicide victim last month, the deadliest May in Chicago since 1995 when 75 were slain, according to official Police Department records.
For the first five months of this year, 243 people have been killed, the most fatalities since 248 perished in 1999, a Tribune analysis of department statistics found. By the end of 1999, homicides totaled 643 that year.
Shootings have increased as well for the third consecutive year. The department tracks shooting incidents and has reported an increase of more than 50 percent so far this year. Nearly 400 people were shot in May, bringing the total for the first five months to more than 1,500, according to a Tribune analysis.

Quagmire!
Still don’t get how a largely “gun free zone” can have so much gun crime. Anyone?
It’s not even summer yet.Wait until the July heat gets here.
Absolute proof that “Common Sense Gun Laws”, aren’t. Criminals don’t care what the law is, or who made the law.
Low intelligence and poor impulse control coupled with corrupt White politicians has turned a major American city into a war zone.
Um-mm, when she says 'we can fight disease and cure this and that' - she's NOT talking about the black community on Chicago's south side. They're NOT curing any diseases.
Here's my suggestion to this woman: Recognize the violence in the black community IS the responsibility of the BLACK COMMUNITY. Contrary to what democrats tell you - YOU are adults and you can solve your own problems.
When whites, Asians and Hispanics have problems IN OUR COMMUNITIES WE DON'T GO TO THE BLACK COMMUNITY TO MARCH. We don't go to the black community to ask for help.
We also don't vote in a bloc for one party... but enough hints... figure it out yourselves. You don't listen to our side anyhow.
Meanwhile, Obama is focused on men being able to use the women’s restrooms.
Stop blindly voting for Democrats would be a good start.
Guaranteed, I know how to cut this little problem in half by the first of the year. You do too.
But it would be construed as racist.
LOL - yes, that's the first step...
Bingo.
Blacks killing blacks doesnt matter.
I've nothing to say. Looks like his destiny was already determined.
Good riddance to the little thug.

Sad to say yet another black youth is dead. Unfortunately, like many before him and many who will follow, he/they are victims of their culture. The shootings will continue, gun control or not, it is a major cultural change that is needed.
Rahm Emmanuel's plans for urban gentrification depends cleaning up the neighborhoods and getting rid of rampant criminal behavior.
If the restless urban parasites are reduced to the carrying capacity of the socially productive, there's a lot of land on the south side of Chicago that could razed by eminent domain and turned into upscale hipster condos, locavore restaurants, and art galleries. But first they gotta get rid of the crack houses.
Chicago a demonstration of how well “Reasonable” and “Common Sense” gun control works.
+2 swish, no net
D s just think of them as late term abortions in the Margaret Sanger mold! Achieves the same purpose as her original intent for Planned Parenthood !
