Four people were killed and least 53 more were wounded during the Memorial Day weekend as Chicago neared the end of a particularly deadly month.
A 15-year-old girl was shot and killed while riding in a vehicle on North Lake Shore Drive with two older men who were described as "gang members". Meaning at least 60 people were shot and killed this month.
In the Lawndale neighborhood, the mother of another teen, Shequita Evans, walked up to a scene of a woman who was shot in the neck while driving. The woman was driving down Lexington Avenue near Pulaski Road. Shequita stated she had to get through "one more summer" until her 17-year-old could graduate and leave the city.
Also during the holiday weekend in over 76 hours 69 people were shot.
