A tragic shooting incident occurred late Monday night at a Little Village Delicias Mexicanas Restaurant in Chicago, resulting in one fatality and serious injuries to an employee.
A 30-year-old man was attempting to enter the restaurant, located in the 4100-block of West 26th Street, around 11:35 p.m. when he was confronted by two male suspects.
The suspects opened fire, striking the victim multiple times in the head before fleeing the scene.
Chicago Fire Department crews responded to the emergency and provided medical treatment to the victim, who was unfortunately pronounced dead at the scene.
The victim’s identity has not been released at this time.
The gunfire also penetrated the restaurant’s glass, injuring a 27-year-old female employee.
She was transported to Mt. Sinai Hospital, where she remains in serious condition.
Following the shooting, a heavy police presence was observed outside the Delicias Mexicanas Restaurant, which is a popular late-night dining option in the area.
No arrests have been made in connection with the incident, and Area Four detectives are actively investigating.
Jackson, Miss. – Authorities are investigating a violent assault and attempted robbery that took place in the stadium parking lot of the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC).
The incident occurred as the victim, identified as Morgan McGuire, was leaving work.
McGuire reported that she was approached by a stranger who initially demanded money.
However, despite her verbal and physical attempts to surrender her purse, the attacker ignored her offer and proceeded to assault her.
“He asked for my money, so I verbally and physically offered him my purse, but he ignored me. He threw me to the ground and kept beating me,” McGuire recalled.
During the assault, she was punched, choked, and thrown to the ground while her attacker repeatedly threatened to shoot her.
Although the suspect demanded her purse, McGuire noted that the attack did not appear to be motivated by robbery alone.
The assault only ended when a passerby intervened, which McGuire described as occurring “after what felt like forever.”
UMMC confirmed that the UMMC Police Department, in coordination with Capitol Police, is actively investigating the attack.
“We take seriously the safety of everyone on our campus and will continue to work with our partners, including Capitol Police and other law enforcement, to uphold this commitment,” UMMC stated.
Authorities have not yet released a description of the suspect, and it remains unclear whether any arrests have been made.
Officials urge anyone with information to come forward as the investigation continues.
