A 13-year-old boy is dead after he and a group of others allegedly tried to break into a parked car, only for the owner to show up in time for a fatal confrontation, police said, according to local Fox32.
Law enforcement officials said that the boy, Dion Young, was one of "four to five" males who were trying to break into a car parked in Woodlawn, on the South Side of Chicago. Then the car's owner, a woman in her 30s with a concealed carry license, arrived.
According to police, when the woman confronted the group, one of the males displayed a gun. That led to her pulling out a weapon of her own and pulling the trigger.
Young suffered a gunshot wound to the neck, police said. He was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital and died Tuesday afternoon.
Police said the other males had fled the scene, and that investigators did not recover any weapons.
Detectives are continuing to investigate the situation, police said.
Violent crime has been an ongoing problem in Chicago, to the point that businesses have been moving out of the city
At the same time, Chicago police statistics reported by the Chicago Sun-Times this week said the number of shootings in the city was down 20% this year, with homicides down 16%.

Don’t confuse the narrative with facts
Looks like he was tried as an adult . . .
Thr other males fled the scene, and didn’t try to help their injured fellow gang member. Oh well.
Those other males sure aren’t very brave when confronted with armed resistance.
Since it’s Illinois/Chicago, there’s a 50/50 chance she’ll be charged with something and/or sued for depriving the “child” of his “civil rights”.
In 5 years he will start voting in the next 156 Presidential elections as a democrat.
Poor defenseless child/industrial strength sarcasm
Dead criminals do not re-offend.
They didn’t specify race of the woman so I’m guessing she is black. Meaning she probably wont see charges. Kudos to her for getting the conceal/carry license and I hope that included some firearms training. At least she gets it.
He died doing what he loved.
Just waiting for his mother to come out and say he was a good boy, turning his life around, etc.
“He a gud boi! He dindu nuffin!”
“Only a lad. You really can’t blame him.”
“Only a lad. Society made him.”
“Only a lad. He’s our responsibility.”
Oh, oh, oohh oh oh oh
“Only a lad. He really couldn’t help it.”
“Only a lad. He didn’t want to do it.”
“Only a lad. He’s underprivileged and abused.”
Perhaps a little bit confused?
You want to do big boy crime, you suffer big boy risks.
Play gansta, win gansta prizes...
She had the right to confront them verbally, and according to the content of the articles, she could have felt threatened with death or great bodily harm. Self-defense.
“He died doing what he loved.”
Yup.
She will show the baby photos and ones from school that were taken before he got all the tats and gang look ...
Meanwhile in his online account he holds guns in his pics
By that headline, you would think the car owner was trying to rob the 13-year-old.
