2 killed, 49 wounded in weekend shootings

Two people had been killed and 49 more wounded in weekend shootings across Chicago by late Sunday evening.

The numbers were the lowest the city has seen in over a month, when 33 people were shot and two killed between 5 p.m. June 12 and 5 a.m. June 15. A week ago, citywide gun violence killed 10 people and wounded 60 more.

This past weekend’s latest fatal shooting left a 37-year-old man dead in West Garfield Park.

He was riding a bicycle about 1:30 p.m. Sunday in the 4000 block of West Carroll Avenue when he heard gunshots and felt a pain, Chicago police said. He was struck in the chest and neck and rushed to Mount Sinai

Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

On Saturday morning, a 19-year-old woman was killed in South Shore.

She and a 39-year-old woman were in the rear parking area of an apartment in the 3000 block of East 78th Street, police said. The younger woman was fatally struck in the head, and the 39-year-old was hit in the shoulder.

The medical examiner’s office identified the 19-year-old as Annette McKay, though it listed the shooting as having happened in the 6800 block of South Crandon Avenue. An autopsy ruled her death a homicide, saying she died of multiple gunshot wounds.
