Overview
- The Back of the Yards shooting, which happened Tuesday night, left a 26-year-old man fatally wounded and later identified by the Cook County medical examiner as Daryle Hall.
- A 66-year-old woman waiting at an Englewood bus stop was taken to the University of Chicago Hospital in critical condition after gunfire; police say occupants of two vehicles exchanged shots while a witness and concentrated shell casings at the shelter suggest a single car may have fired at her.
- Around midnight a 23-year-old motorcyclist ran a red light at Pulaski and Addison, struck a black sedan that fled, was taken to the hospital in critical condition and was issued four citations as the Major Accidents unit investigates.
- Area One detectives are leading the shootings probes and no arrests have been announced as officers work to reconcile differing accounts from witnesses with physical evidence at the scenes.
- The incidents highlight how conflicting statements and on-scene forensic patterns can change an investigation and point to expected follow-up steps such as reviewing surveillance, interviewing witnesses and matching shell casings to firearms.
