CHICAGO –– In the pouring rain, the man pulled a fur-lined hood over his head and stood on the porch of his younger brother’s home in Chicago’s Douglas Park neighborhood early Sunday, watching police investigate the city’s first homicide of the weekend.
TODAY'S SPONSOR:
The man said he heard people arguing and throwing bottles at each other about 2:30 a.m. before the shots rang out. He said he went to check on what was happening three doors down but then stopped, retreated back.
“When I noticed the commotion, I headed the other direction,” he said, as he was getting ready to go to work as a truck driver. “There’s a reason for the rain. Only God knew this was going to happen.”
The killing was the only fatality among 29 people who were shot from Saturday to Sunday morning. Of the people shot, three were teenagers.
Several of the attacks injured multiple victims as gunmen opened fire on groups of people. Two shootings that occurred in the Chatham and Back of the Yards neighborhoods each injured three people.
The man killed in the Douglas Park neighborhood was shot in the head and back and taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said. In the same shooting, a man was shot in the hand and also taken to Mount Sinai, where his condition was stabilized.
The Cook County medical examiner’s office had not identified the victim by Sunday morning.
Police made arrests in shootings in East Ukrainian Village and Lakeview, but none of the others.
