Approximate location of Sunday night’s shooting | Multiplottr
A 17-year-old boy who has no previous contact with police is in serious condition after being shot near the Berwyn Red Line station in Edgewater on Sunday evening.
The victim was walking on the 1000 block of West Berwyn when an armed man walked up to him, shouted a gang slogan, and began firing. At least ten shell casings were found at the scene and the victim was struck once in the leg, according to officers on the scene.
Police said the shooter, a Hispanic man dressed entirely in black, fled westbound on Berwyn.
An ambulance crew transported the victim to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center.
CWBChicago was created in 2013 by five residents of Wrigleyville and Boystown who had grown disheartened with inaccurate information that was being provided at local Community Policing (CAPS) meetings.
Our coverage area has expanded since then to cover Lincoln Park, River North, The Loop, Uptown, and other North Side Areas. But our mission remains unchanged: To provide original public safety reporting with better context and greater detail than mainstream media outlets.
