A deadly outbreak of gunfire disrupted the Grand Crossing neighborhood on Chicago's South Side late Tuesday afternoon, leaving one young man dead and two others injured. The Chicago Sun-Times reports that police responded to the 300 block of West 75th Street around 5:15 p.m., where they discovered three shooting victims.
Tragically cut short, the life of 18-year-old Martez Marrow who was struck in the left torso and, despite being rushed to St. Bernard Hospital, was pronounced dead, as detailed by the Chicago Sun-Times. In a parallel struggle for life, a 19-year-old man is fighting a critical battle after sustaining a gunshot wound to his head at the University of Chicago Medical Center. Adding to the toll, a third man, aged 20, was shot in the leg. According to officials, his condition was deemed good at the same medical facility.
Authorities have yet to place anyone into custody. The police's hunt for suspects, still at large, was complicated by a lack of forthcoming cooperation from those involved in the incident, as per a statement obtained by WGN-TV.
