Woman killed, 2 teens hurt in Back of the Yards shooting, Chicago police say

A woman was killed, and two teens were wounded in a shooting in Chicago's Back of the Yards neighborhood on Tuesday afternoon.

The shooting happened around 3:30 p.m. in the 1700 block of West 50th Street, near Cornell (Paul) Square Park.

Chicago police said the victims—a 26-year-old woman, an 18-year-old man, and a 16-year-old boy—were traveling inside a maroon Honda SUV heading westbound on 50th Street when two unknown gunmen on motorcycles pulled up alongside them, firing more than 20 shots. A resident's security camera captured the gunfire.

Police said the victim's vehicle then came to a stop after hitting a parked car. Moments after the gunmen left you, those teenagers were heard crying for help on the sidewalk.

All three were taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center.

The woman was shot in the back and was pronounced dead at the hospital.

The 18-year-old suffered gunshots to the right hip and was in serious condition. 

The 16-year-old suffered gunshot wounds to the left arm and the left leg and was in critical condition. 

"It frightens me, I hate gun violence," said Melanie Moreno.

Moreno's mother lives on the block. She's thankful her mom wasn't outside at the time, but is still appalled to see this shooting steps from a park.

"It's kids out here, they come out and play, you don't expect this to happen in the middle of the day," she said.

Police have not said if the teens were intended targets or not. 

Area 1 detectives are investigating.
