Chicago's West Ridge Community Mourns After Man Fatal Shot in North Side Alley
A man was fatally shot in an alley in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood on the city's North Side, according to local authorities. The shooting occurred around 5:45 p.m. Thursday, where the man, aged 31, suffered a gunshot wound to the head. The Chicago Sun-Times reports that the incident took place in the 2000 block of West Howard Street.
Taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, his life was claimed by the injury, and was pronounced dead upon arrival. While no arrests have been made, the alley where the shooting transpired, behind the mentioned block near Damen Avenue, is currently under investigation by the Belmont Area detectives. This area, known for its bustling activity, was the scene of the critique of a city struggling with gun violence, despite efforts to curtail it.
The identity of the deceased man has yet to be released, pending family notification. The circumstances leading up to the shooting remain unclear, and law enforcement have not provided any details regarding potential suspects or motives. CBS News Chicago added that thorough investigations are ongoing as detectives canvass the area for witnesses and search for surveillance videos that may have captured the incident.
Further details will be provided as the investigation continues and hopefully sheds light on the tragic event that unfolded on a North Side alley last Thursday.
