Overview

• Multiple shooters in a dark vehicle opened fire July 3 as patrons left the nightclub, killing two men aged 24 and 25 and two women, and wounding 14 others aged 21 to 32.
• The attack struck attendees of rapper Mello Buckzz’s album release party as they departed the venue late Wednesday night.
• The suspect vehicle fled the scene and no arrests have been made, prompting a citywide manhunt by Chicago police.
• Officers have collected surveillance videos and are conducting witness interviews to reconstruct the shooting and track down suspects.
• The same location was the site of a fatal 2022 shooting and the incident underscores stalled efforts to strengthen U.S. gun laws in the face of political resistance.
