Police scanner communication indicated shell casings from an assault rifle were found at the scene.
"Weapons of war are winding up on our streets, used by gang members to fuel their Facebook blood-sport to try to see who can outdo who," Ald. Raymond Lopez said. "We have to stay vigilant. Our parents need to stay awake and we need to start identifying who in our communities are responsible for not only holding and using these weapons, but for bringing them to the community."
