Two Chicago Shootings Hours Apart Leave One Dead, Injuries Reported Downtown

Police are investigating both scenes with casualty information from the Loop still pending.

Overview

  • A 22-year-old man was shot in the chest inside a residence behind a home in the 600 block of West Division Street and later died at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
  • Officers were dispatched at about 4:31 p.m. after a 911 caller reported their son had been shot during a robbery, though investigators have not confirmed a robbery occurred.
  • Police recovered a shell casing near the back stoop at the Near North Side address and reported no arrests in that case.
  • Around 9:50 p.m., police responded to reports of gunfire near State and Randolph Streets in the Loop, where CBS crews saw paramedics place at least three people into ambulances near a Walgreens by the Chicago Theatre.
  • Authorities have not confirmed how many people were shot or their conditions in the downtown incident, with unconfirmed dispatches noting officers were tracking a group of young people as large holiday crowds left nearby events.
