Chicago Officials Host Press Conference

The Chicago Police Department is investigating the shooting but has yet to make any arrests. On Thursday, Chicago officials, including Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Chicago Police Department Supt. Larry Snelling, hosted a press conference to address what they are calling a targeted shooting.

“Currently, our detective division is working extremely hard to get to the bottom of this,” Snelling told the assembled press in the video below. “We, as the Chicago Police Department, want to make sure we get justice for these families. But we also want to make sure we take individuals who are this violent and this careless off the streets.”

Police do not know the target of the shooting or the motive at this time. They are seeking the public’s help in identifying the suspects.
