Bronzeville shooting: Man killed, woman wounded during carjacking attempt
CHICAGO (CBS) -- One man is dead and a woman is in the hospital after an attempted carjacking in the Bronzeville neighborhood.
Police said, around 12:10 a.m., the victims were in a black sedan in the 4900 block of South Calumet Avenue, when two gunmen approached them and tried to steal their vehicle.
Neighborhood surveillance cameras captured at least six gunshots going off. Seconds later, you see someone running away from that gunfire.
The victims drove off, and the carjackers shot at them as they fled, causing the victims to crash into a white pickup truck. The back windows of the victims' sedan were shot out.
A 20-year-old man was shot several times, and was taken to University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
A 22-year-old woman was shot in the foot, and was taken to University of Chicago Medical Center in good condition.
Evidence markers lined the street where the shooting happened right outside of an apartment complex. Hours later, debris still littered the ground in the neighborhood.
CBS 2 spoke with the driver of the white pickup. He didn't want to go on camera. His car was parked on South Calumet and said he too heard the gunshots overnight.
The identify of the man who was killed has not been released.
No one was in custody Monday morning. Area One detectives were investigating.
