Overview
- The episodes began Tuesday night and continued over the following nights, producing at least one confirmed fatality and multiple people wounded, several in critical condition.
- Cook County medical examiners identified the Back of the Yards homicide victim as 26-year-old Daryle Hall of Chicago.
- In Englewood a woman was shot at a bus stop and taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition as police and a witness offered differing accounts of whether the attack was a 'rolling' exchange of gunfire or a single car passenger firing before fleeing.
- A separate incident on the Northwest Side involved a 23-year-old motorcyclist who ran a red light, struck a sedan that fled, was critically injured, and was issued citations while the Major Accidents Unit investigates.
- Area detectives have announced few arrests as many victims either declined treatment or refused to cooperate, which officials say is hampering case reconstructions and adding strain to hospital and police resources.
