Yeah! Black lives MATTER! We finger paint!
Nine people were shot across Chicago on Thursday, two of them fatally.
The latest killing happened Thursday night in Hermosa on the Northwest Side.
A 23-year-old man was driving about 9:53 p.m. in the 1800 block of North Keeler Avenue when someone in a white-colored SUV opened fire, according to Chicago police. He was struck in the head and pronounced dead at the scene.
Earlier that afternoon, another man was fatally shot in Austin on the West Side.
He was standing outside a convenience store about 3:39 p.m. in the 400 block of South Laramie Avenue when someone approached him and opened fire, police said. The 36-year-old was struck in the head and chest and was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he died.
The Cook County medical examiner's office has not released details about either fatality.
Thursday's latest nonfatal shooting happened in South Chicago.
A 52-year-old man was walking about 10:50 p.m. in the 2900 block of East 83rd Street when someone on the sidewalk fired shots, striking him in the leg, police said. A friend drove him to Jackson Park Hospital in good condition.
Police sources believe the man may not have been the intended target of the shooting.
Minutes earlier, another man was shot during a robbery attempt in Chicago Lawn on the South Side.
The 24-year-old was riding in a vehicle about 10:46 p.m. in the 2300 block of West 69th Street when a male approached and pulled him out, according to police. The suspect then pulled out a handgun, announced a robbery and shot the man in the leg before running away. He did not appear to have taken anything from the victim. The man was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in fair condition.
