A man was seriously injured in a drive-by shooting in Chicago’s Humboldt Park neighborhood, according to local TV reports. The attack, caught on video, has been circulating on local news feeds. Police rushed to the scene, and investigators are working to track down whoever opened fire.
What we know
According to CBS News Chicago, the shooting was a drive-by that left one man seriously hurt. The outlet’s video segment shared only limited information about the victim and did not identify any suspects. As of that report, there were no arrests mentioned in connection with the case.
Neighborhood context
Humboldt Park has been dealing with recurring gun violence even as citywide numbers fluctuate. WTTW reported that shootings increased in February, although overall violent crime remains lower so far this year compared with the same period last year. The neighborhood has also been in the headlines for other serious incidents this month, including an officer-involved shooting that left a man dead, as detailed by the Chicago Sun-Times. That combination of broader city declines and local flare-ups has kept many residents anxious and frustrated.
How to help
Area detectives are investigating, and anyone with video or information is urged to contact police. The Chicago Police Department operates an anonymous online tip portal and a texting option, with details and the submission form available on the department’s tip page. The Chicago Police Department notes that texting CPDTip to 738477 will generate a link to the anonymous tip form, and reminds the public to call 9-1-1 for emergencies.
Detectives continue to work the case, and authorities had released only limited details at the time of the CBS News Chicago report. This story will be updated if officials provide additional information.
