Seven people were shot, one fatally, at a prayer vigil in Little Village on Saturday night, police said.
The people were gathered for a vigil on the front lawn of a home in the 2500 block of South Spaulding Avenue when someone got out of a Jeep and fired shots into the crowd shortly after 10 p.m., police said.
Froylan Garcia, 32, was shot multiple times and pronounced dead at Mount Sinai Hospital, police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said.
The other victims went also taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where they were listed in fair condition.
A man, 31, was shot in the right thigh. A 51-year-old man was shot in the buttocks, and a 35-year-old man suffered a graze wound to the top of the head. Another man, 39, was shot in the left leg and right hand. A 48-year-old man and a man estimated to be in his 30s were also shot in the leg.
On Sunday morning, a memorial made up of candles and bottles of beer was left for the victims near the scene. Police knocked on doors and left flyers asking residents to contact them with information about the shooting. Neighbors wouldn’t speak to reporters.
No one is in custody, and Area Four detectives are investigating.
