A 29-year-old man fell prey to the unrelenting violence plaguing Chicago's streets when a drive-by shooter riddled him with bullets in the city's Brainerd neighborhood, marking yet another chapter in the city's crime saga. The victim was shot Sunday night by a passing assailant in a gray sedan, the Chicago Police Department disclosed, bullet wounds piercing his thigh — a sobering reminder of the bloodshed that continues to haunt the city's south side. According to a report by FOX 32 Chicago, the injured man was carted off to Advocate Christ Medical Center where his condition was listed as good.
The shooting, which took place on the 9100 block of South Ada Street around 10:20 p.m., is still shrouded in ambiguity with the shooter at large and the police scavenging for leads, no arrests have been made said the police. As the Chicago detectives of Area Two marshal their efforts in an ongoing investigation, residents of the community are left to grapple with the fear and uncertainty that such incidents inevitably stir. The official release by the Chicago Police Department reiterates the same account, stating that the victim was found after having been shot and was promptly taken to Christ Hospital — a sequence of events all too familiar in a city battling rampant gun violence.
For now, the authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward as the search for the grey sedan and its occupant continues, and the investigation is being conducted by Area Two detectives, while the city awaits answers, and the victim, whose life was derailed in mere moments, awaits justice. The Chicago Police Department has not yet provided any suspect description or motive for the crime.
