A group of people was seen running west on North Water Street while two cars sped away northbound, according to a witness. At sunrise, a blood trail could be seen stretching from the fountain to New Street along the same route taken by the group that was seen running away.

At least some of the shooting was captured on a Chicago Police Department pod camera.

The victim, who was taken to Rush Hospital by a friend, is in good condition, according to police.
