Overview
- Police say a 25-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman were leaving a Mobil station in the 200 block of West Pershing Road in Fuller Park when three people in a silver Nissan approached and opened fire.
- Authorities reported the man suffered 12 gunshot wounds and the woman six, and both were taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center where they were pronounced dead.
- Area One detectives are handling the homicide investigation, no arrests have been announced, and officials have released no victim names or further details.
- Investigators are relying on surveillance footage, shell‑casing analysis and tips from the public to identify the three suspects and trace the vehicle that fled eastbound.
- The shooting adds to a series of clustered weekend and mid‑summer gun attacks on Chicago’s South Side that have produced multiple victims, few rapid arrests and heightened community concern.
