Five people were killed, including a pregnant woman, and at least 38 more were wounded in shootings across the city between Friday evening and Monday morning, police said.
The pregnant woman, 19, was gunned down about 6:10 p.m. Sunday in the South Chicago neighborhood.
She and a 26-year-old man were sitting in a car parked in the 8700 block of South Marquette when another vehicle pulled alongside them and a gunman with dreadlocks opened fire, according to Chicago Police. The woman was shot in the neck and the man suffered gunshot wounds to the neck and chest. They were both taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where she died, police said. The Cook County medical examiner’s office did not immediately confirm the death. Law enforcement sources said the woman was about eight months pregnant, and that the baby was delivered. The man, who police said has documented gang ties, was in critical condition.
About 4 a.m. Sunday in the Old Town neighborhood, someone walked out of a fast food restaurant in the 100 block of West Division, opened fire on two men, and took off in a Chevrolet Tahoe south on Clark, police said. The men, 20 and 30, were shot in the back and taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where the younger man died, police said. The medical examiner’s office has not released his name. The other man was in serious condition. The block where the shooting occurred was the target of a recent undercover drug investigation, according to a statement from Ald. Brian Hopkins (2nd).
