Chicago police are searching for suspects in a shooting that left three dead and five wounded at a home in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood Monday afternoon. Police Chief Jon Hein condemned the attack as a “heinous, terrible” crime and vowed to bring those responsible to justice.
Officers arrived at the scene around 2 p.m., finding eight gunshot victims—four males and four females. Three of the males succumbed to their injuries. Investigators believe the shooting occurred during a social gathering at the residence. Neighbors reported that parties and loud gatherings were frequent at the home in recent months.
The investigation is ongoing, and authorities have not identified any suspects. Hein expressed confidence in solving the case, emphasizing the commitment of law enforcement to hold the perpetrators accountable.
This shooting adds to a violent Thanksgiving weekend in Chicago. According to reports, 16 people were shot by Saturday afternoon, with two fatalities recorded. The city has surpassed 515 homicides in 2024, reflecting its ongoing struggle with violent crime.
Police are urging anyone with information about the shooting to come forward. Community members remain on edge as the search for those responsible continues.
