Midwest Weekend Shootings Leave Multiple Victims as Chicago Loop Reaches Year-to-Date High

Police in three cities are investigating cases complicated by scarce leads.

Overview

  • Chicago police reported at least one person killed and nine wounded over the weekend, including a 17-year-old shot in Brighton Park and a 45-year-old man killed inside his South May Street home.
  • A juvenile was grazed by gunfire inside the Royal Sonesta Hotel in the Loop and would not tell officers what happened after he reached Lurie Children’s Hospital.
  • That hotel shooting raised the Loop’s year-to-date total to five people shot, the highest for this point in the year since at least 2019 according to local reporting.
  • In Indianapolis, a juvenile found near a playground died after a shooting that police described as likely targeted, and investigators have not identified suspects.
  • Milwaukee police said a 51-year-old died at the scene of a morning shooting on the city’s northwest side, and detectives are asking for tips.
