A 14-year-old boy succumbed to his wounds two days after being shot in the head three times. He and a 29-year-old man were sitting in a parked car in Chicago’s Morgan Park neighborhood — on July 29, 2021— when an unidentified individual opened fire from another vehicle; injuring the boy and barely grazing the man.
The teen and man were parked on the 1600 block of West Waseca Place when the suspect fired a weapon at them. Emergency crews whisked the teen to Roseland Hospital before he was transferred to Christ Medical Center; the man had a minor head injury and refused treatment.
According to WGN 9 News, Area Two detectives are investigating the Far South Side shooting. No arrests have been mentioned.
