As many as 15 people, including three children, were injured in a drive-by shooting on Halloween night that sent shots flying into a crowd along a Chicago street corner.
Brown indicated there was a vigil nearby that included a balloon release, but it was unclear if those who were shot were all vigil attendees. He said the incident happened in a matter of seconds.
“We don't have any motive, we don’t have any offender, we didn’t have any conflicts on this corner,” Brown said.Data from Chicago Police has indicated a decline in gun violence so far this year. According to Chicago Police, gun homicides are down 17.8%, and non-fatal shooting victimizations are down 21.1%, compared to the same time in 2021.
But gun violence appeared to have taken a huge turn in Chicago in 2020 when fatal and non-fatal shootings both increased 64% compared to 2019. The data also indicates that most of Chicago’s gun crimes are in the city’s poorest neighborhoods west of downtown and on the South Side.
