Overview
- Police say the 31-year-old clerk was shot multiple times around 10:41 p.m. on March 13 outside the 7‑Eleven at 191 West Adams Street after confronting a man who took items without paying.
- The victim suffered wounds to the abdomen and back and was transported to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in critical condition.
- Officers recovered three shell casings on the sidewalk and reported that bullets shattered the store’s glass door.
- Witnesses described the gunman as a Black man in his late 20s to early 30s with short hair, last seen in a black jacket and hoodie, and no arrest was reported.
- Police also logged a separate early‑Saturday homicide and a preliminary report of a River North incident in which a victim was forced to withdraw cash at multiple ATMs, and local counts show the clerk is the fourth person shot in the Loop this year compared with none at this point last year.
