Overview
- The incidents unfolded between Tuesday and Thursday and left at least three people dead and several others wounded in separate scenes across Chicago.
- Two people, a 27-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man, were found with gunshot wounds to the head inside a vehicle on the University of Chicago campus on Thursday and a firearm was recovered at the scene.
- Late Thursday night a 25-year-old man was killed and a 25-year-old woman was wounded in a drive-by shooting near Promontory Point in Hyde Park, and the man later died at the University of Chicago Medical Center.
- On the West Side a 15-year-old boy was found unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the head and later died at Stroger Hospital, and dispatch records reported by a local blog say first responders initially had no indication of gunfire at that scene.
- Police have opened multiple active investigations, have not announced any arrests, and the July shootings have intensified local concerns about campus and neighborhood safety after the city ended its ShotSpotter monitoring in September 2024.
