Overview
- Police say a 17-year-old walking on the 2400 block of West 48th Street in Brighton Park was shot by someone in a passing red sedan.
- First responders treated the boy for multiple gunshot wounds and took him to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition.
- FOX 32 reported the teen later died at the hospital, while ABC7 earlier described his condition as critical.
- Investigators in the Chicago Police Department’s Area One are leading the case, and officials have not released the boy’s name.
- Drive-by shootings often leave few witnesses and moving vehicles to track, which can slow arrests and prolong grief for families and neighbors.
