Chicago shooting: One teen killed, one injured while buying shoes from online seller
CHICAGO (CBS) -- One teen is dead and another is hospitalized after a shooting in Chicago's West Pullman neighborhood Sunday afternoon.
According to the Chicago Police Department, the teens were in a parked vehicle in the 11900 block of South State just after 2 p.m. trying to buy a pair of shoes from a social media marketplace seller.
Police say the seller took the victims' money and shot both of them.
A 17-year-old victim, later identified as Jordan Nixon, was shot in the chest and pronounced dead. An 18-year-old was shot in the right elbow and transported to Advocate Christ Medical Center in good condition.
A family member of the 18-year-old said right now their family is just asking for prayers.
A witness, who did not want to be identified for fear of retaliation, described what he saw.
"There was a lot of shots went off," he said. "I was walking past, and then I seen two dudes. One was walking up, and I see a truck pull up. Then they just get to shooting. I'm talking like sounds like 15 to 20 rounds. I looked back a little bit, and I just ducked because I didn't want to get hit. When it comes to business, that stuff happens. I think it was just a business deal gone wrong with them."
The two teens drove themselves to Roseland Hospital, where Jordan later died.
The 18-year-old victim was relocated to Advocate Christ Medical Center so he could recover.
CBS 2's Sabrina Franza has seen surveillance video of the moments before and after the shooting and is told police are reviewing that video to see if people on tape are connected to this incident in any way.
No one is in custody as Area Two detectives investigate.
