Overview

  • Chicago police counted 25 shooting victims over the weekend, including three deaths, with totals seven lower than the same weekend last year and one four-victim incident on the 2400 block of West Jackson Boulevard.
  • Two suspects were arrested after gunfire outside the 25th District station and a nearly 3-mile pursuit that ended in a Humboldt Park crash, with a weapon recovered and charges pending.
  • CPD and COPA reported the South Shore suspect is believed to have been shot by an officer and later sought hospital care before leaving without treatment, with no one in custody.
  • COPA said body-worn cameras recorded the South Shore encounter, and Chopper 7 video showed at least a dozen shots along East 71st Street.
  • Officials cautioned that weekend counts can differ from independent trackers due to varying time windows and expressway exclusions, with victims ranging in age from 6 to 49.
