The toddler was shot in the face at a home in the 8800 block of South Euclid Avenue in Calumet Heights, police said.
CHICAGO --The shooting happened in the Calumet Heights neighborhood's 8800 block of South Euclid Avenue at about 3:40 p.m. last Saturday, April 22, police said. A 3-year-old boy was struck in the face by gunfire.
The child was pronounced dead one week later on Saturday, April 29, the Cook County Medical Examiner's office said. His identity has not yet been released. "I have a young son that's 19," said Dawn, a Calumet Heights resident. "I won't let him come over here, because, at night, we hear the shooting off 87th street all the time. So, it's changing. It's unfortunate."
