Ten people were killed and at least 44 others were shot across the city Friday night into early Monday, including a baby girl who suffered a graze wound to the neck when gunfire erupted at a Near West Side barbecue.
The latest victims were found naked, shot to death and lying face down on railroad property near West 91st Street and South Holland Road on the South Side about 8:50 a.m Monday, according to a Calumet Area sergeant. Both were shot at some point Sunday night.
The victims, black males believed to be between 16 and 20, remained unidentified as of late Monday afternoon.
On Monday, a 28-year-old man was found shot in the chest about 3 a.m. in the 7500 block of South Halsted Street near a South Side church, according to Gresham District police. A passing motorist found the man, identified as Credale Woulard of the 7700 block of South Ada Street, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office. He was dressed in women's clothing and was found lying dead on the sidewalk.
In the South Side Englewood neighborhood, 44-year-old Darryl Dunn was found dead with a gunshot wound to the head in the 7200 block of South Marshfield Avenue at 2:02 a.m. Monday, authorities said.
About 1:52 a.m. Monday, 25-year-old Larry Johnson, of the 14000 block of Park Avenue in Lansing, was shot in the 6400 block of South Ingleside Avenue in the South Side Woodlawn neighborhood. He died nearly two hours later at a hospital, police said.
Durwin Hackman, 20, of the 3100 block of West 172nd Street in Hazel Crest, was killed in a shooting that also injured two others about 11:10 p.m. in the 700 block of West 111th Street in the Far South Side Roseland neighborhood. The three victims were involved in a verbal altercation over a female when other males began to shoot before fleeing the scene.
Three men, two related, were found fatally shot in the West Side's Lawndale neighborhood early Saturday in what police consider gang-related slayings. The victims were 25-year-old Waseem Smith, 45-year-old Barry Smith and 28-year-old Leon Smith, according to the medical examiner's office. They were shot just after 3 a.m. in the 2300 block of South Springfield, police said. Police found two of the men in separate cars and the third lying on the street outside one of the cars.
A 19-year-old man died Sunday night after being shot in the head Friday night in the 1800 block of West 87th Street, police said. Pierre York, of the 8600 block of South Wood Street, was walking down the street with a friend when they were confronted by a gunman, who fled after shooting York, police said.
In addition to the homicides, at least 10 people were shot early Monday, including a baby girl and four men who were injured when gunfire erupted during an outside barbecue on the Near West Side early Monday.
The shooting happened at 12:11 a.m. in the 1300 block of West Hastings Street, according to a Monroe District police lieutenant. Several people attending the barbecue heard shots fired and "everybody started running," the lieutenant said.
One shot struck a 1-year-old girl, who suffered a graze wound to the neck. Four men were also shot, police said. One of the victims, a 34-year-old man, was taken to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the abdomen. The other three men suffered injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening.
On Sunday, at least 11 people were injured in shootings, including a 16-year-old girl who was critically wounded when shots rang out during a fight on a South Side street.
The girl was standing outside in the 1200 block of East 78th Street at 8:15 p.m. when several fights broke out and one person pulled out a handgun, according to a South Chicago District police captain. The girl was struck in the back and taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in critical condition.
On an especially violent Saturday, at least 22 people were injured. That included five people hurt in four shootings in the West Side Humboldt Park neighborhood, just blocks from the annual Puerto Rican festival.
And following Friday's violent storms, at least one person was injured in a shooting on the South Side.

    a good prayer will stop this!

    It will only stop when Jesus Christ returns. Man will learn war no more when He establishes His kingdom on this earth!

    "4And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."
    Isaiah 2:4

    So they don't have the free will to stop this themselves?

    People are fickle and therefore shall be even in the presence of their Salvation. Simply put you evil ass ? 's will have been long gone by then anyway.

    Its literally a fast food joint, liqour store, currency exchange (check cashing joint) and CHURCH on almost every other block (main streets) in Englewood. Jesus is not gone stop them wild young brothers from getting down like that. Dope is the only religion that rules the SouthSide of the Go. All the different street mobs are opposing congregations/denominations but the CPD are over it all like the Roman Catholics.
