Overview

  • Chicago saw a string of separate shootings overnight Saturday into early Sunday that left at least three people dead and multiple others wounded as police opened homicide probes.
  • In Englewood a 34-year-old man was killed and two others were injured after an argument on West 73rd Street, and detectives have not reported any arrests in that case.
  • Milwaukee police are investigating three separate overnight shootings that killed three people and injured two others while officers search for unknown suspects.
  • Houston officers fatally shot an armed suspect who stood over an unresponsive, shot man in a Westheimer parking garage and the department said bodycam footage will be released within 30 days.
  • Investigations are complicated by several victims being found unresponsive at scenes or walking into hospitals without 'shots fired' calls, prompting reliance on surveillance, shell casing analysis and tips from the public.
