Caught on camera: Brazen daylight shooting leaves 1 dead, 1 injured on South Side

A brazen daylight shooting in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood left a woman dead and a man wounded after three gunmen opened fire on their vehicle Wednesday afternoon, Chicago police said.

The attack occurred around 1:25 p.m. in the 7900 block of South May Street when three gunmen dressed in black clothing emerged from a red car and rushed toward the victims’ vehicle, according to video footage captured by a passing motorist. The video, shared online by Chicago Critter, shows the gunmen firing round after round from three guns at the victim’s vehicle, which had crashed into a van.

After the initial barrage, the suspects returned to their getaway car. But the video shows the driver stopping near the crashed car to allow the gunmen to fire additional shots at the victims.

CPD said a 26-year-old woman was struck multiple times throughout her body and was taken to Loyola University Medical Center in critical condition, but she later died, according to police. A 27-year-old man suffered gunshot wounds to his buttocks and arm and was taken to Christ Hospital in good condition.

The driver of the GMC van that was struck during the crash refused medical treatment at the scene, police said.
