- At least three victims were teenagers, including a 16-year-old boy, 19-year-old Angel Aviles, and 17-year-old Melissa Catrejon, according to police and the medical examiner.
- Family identified 36-year-old Kiara Jenkins, a mother of five, as the woman found fatally shot near her Woodlawn home early Sunday as she was heading to an early church service.
- Two West Side killings occurred inside residences, including Kelly Brown, 40, shot when someone opened fire through a rear doorway in Lawndale, and an unidentified 37-year-old killed in an East Garfield Park home invasion.
- A 37-year-old man was also shot dead while in a vehicle in West Pullman, and police reported no arrests in many of the cases as CPD declined to comment and Area One detectives pursued leads.
