Weekend Shootings Leave Two Dead and Several Wounded as Police Probe Humboldt Park Mass Attack

Public tip requests follow a wave of violent incidents that stretched across multiple Chicago neighborhoods.

Overview

  • Police say a mass shooting in Humboldt Park on Sunday wounded seven people and killed one after multiple armed people exited vehicles and opened fire on a group near North Christiana Avenue.
  • Citywide incidents over the Labor Day weekend included a drive-by in Marquette Park that critically wounded a 37-year-old woman and injured two teens, and at least two other fatal shootings reported by police.
  • Officers detained a 29-year-old man after an early-Sunday West Loop exchange of gunfire in which he was wounded; police say he fired a weapon and faces charges while the other man involved remains at large.
  • Separately, detectives are investigating predatory assaults on the Northwest Side: an attempted luring of a 15-year-old in Portage Park with a detailed suspect description and three reported sexual-abuse incidents in Avondale that happened within the same hour.
  • Area detectives are coordinating multi-scene probes, asking witnesses to submit tips to CPDTIP and citing reference numbers, and hospitals across the city treated victims as investigators review surveillance footage and chase leads.
