At least five of the victims have been under 18.

Police were called to the 600 block of East 92nd Place at 10:40 p.m. Saturday for a ShotSpotter alert. They found a 44-year-old man lying outside with a gunshot wound to the chest, and he was pronounced dead on the scene.

The 27-year-old man was shot in the head and was taken in critical condition at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. The man, identified as Demetrius Reed, was later pronounced dead.

Early Sunday, a car from which shots were being fired along Irving Park Road in the North Center struck a sport-utility vehicle and left a woman dead.
Initial reports indicated someone in a Toyota Camry and someone in a black sedan were each firing at each other as they headed west on Irving Park Road from Lincoln and Damen avenues to Western Avenue. A subsequent update did not mention the shootout, nor the black sedan. But police do believe the Toyota went on to hit a Nissan Rogue sport-utility vehicle full of innocent bystanders, killing one of them.
At 3:03 a.m., a Chicago Police K9 Unit officer was stopped at a red light on Irving Park Road and reported hearing gunshots and seeing muzzle flashes from the Toyota Camry. The officer then turned on their emergency lights and fired the car, until the Camry blew past the red light at Irving Park Road and Western Avenue and into that black Nissan Rogue.
Video documented the impact, which was so severe that it ripped apart the back end of the car and ejected a passenger.
Meanwhile, the Toyota – which was seen on camera skidding down Irving Park Road – ended up stopping. Its occupants bailed on foot and ran off in an unknown direction. It was not clear whether anyone was shot in that incident.
In one incident early Saturday, two men were shot on Division Street, between Wicker Park and Ukrainian Village.
At 1:36 a.m. Saturday, the men – ages 25 and 34 – were on the sidewalk in the 2100 block of West Division Street when they were each shot in the leg.
The younger victim self-transported to Rush University Medical Center, while the older victim self-transported to AMITA Health Saints Mary and Elizabeth Medical Center and was to be transferred to Stroger Hospital of Cook County.
Both were reported in good condition.
Dozens of evidence markers were seen right outside along Division Street between Leavitt Street and Hoyne Avenue, and specifically outside the Queen Mary Tavern at 2125 W. Division St.
At 10:39 a.m. Saturday, a 68-year-old man was shot in the right leg in the restroom at a McDonald's in Chatham.
According to Chicago Police, at 10:39 a.m., the man was shot in the right leg by another man, who then took the victim's belongings.
Police did not provide the name of the business, located in the 0-99 block of East 87th Street. The Chicago Fire Department confirmed the robbery happened at the McDonald's on that block.
