14-year-old boy killed in |
2012-06-24 |
A 14-year-old boy was killed and 13 other people were wounded by gunfire across the city Friday night into Saturday morning, including a gang-related shooting near the Lincoln Park Zoo, authorities said. Antonio Davis, of the 8000 block of South Eberhart Avenue, was found dead with several gunshot wounds in the 7000 block of South Union Avenue in the Englewood neighborhood about 8:40 p.m. Friday, according to the Chicago Fire Department and the medical examiner's office. The boy was walking with at least one other person when a grey van pulled up and a passenger, a man wearing a dark-colored hoodie, exited with a gun, said police News Affairs Officer Robert Perez. He opened fire, striking the boy. As he lay on the ground, the shooter kept firing. "He shot him while the victim was down several times,'' Perez said. The shooter then got back into the van, which was driven by another man about the same age -- between the ages of 20 and 25. |
