Chicago: 7 Dead, 20 Wounded in Chicago Weekend Violence
At least 22 people have been shot and several others stabbed in violent attacks across Chicago this weekend.
Police said five people were fatally shot and two people were stabbed to death this weekend.
The weekend’s first homicide took place around 11:30 p.m. Friday when police found a man stabbed to death inside a home in the 5800 block of North Mobile Avenue.
Officers were conducting a well-being check after neighbors reported a disturbance leading to a fight outside the home.
Police arrived and found a 36-year-old man in the kitchen with multiple stab wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene, officials said.
Around the same time, a 20-year-old man was fatally stabbed during a robbery attempt in the West Rogers Park neighborhood roughly 6.5 miles away.
The man was standing near a park in the 6200 block of North Hoyne Avenue when a group of men walked up and demanded his cell phone. When the man refused, he was stabbed.
The victim was taken to Swedish Covenant Hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said.
Around 3 a.m. Saturday police said a 64-year-old man was killed during an attempted robbery outside a store in the 1500 block of South Lawndale Avenue. The man was approached by two men who shot him while attempting to rob him. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition and was later pronounced dead, according to Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Janel Sedevic.
Just after 4 a.m. Saturday, a 19-year-old man was shot in the chest in the West Town neighborhood. The teen may have been a passenger in a vehicle at the time of the shooting, which took place in the 500 block of North Bishop, police said.
