1 dead, 1 injured after shootings on Chicago's South Side

One person was killed, and another was injured after two shootings less than a mile apart in Back of the Yards and Englewood on Tuesday night. 

A large teen gathering at which at least one person was arrested also happened nearby.

Just before 7 p.m., officers found a 26-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the chest in the 900 block of West 54th Street in Back of the Yards. The victim was taken to the University of Chicago Hospital, where he died.

Also at 54th and Peoria streets, video showed officers responding to what appeared to be a large teen gathering in the street. At least one person was seen being taken away in handcuffs.

Officers remained at the scene until midnight.

Meanwhile, just before 10 p.m., officers were called to the 800 block of West 59th Street for a report of a person shot. 

Police said a 66-year-old woman was outside waiting for a ride when shots were fired from two passing sport-utility vehicles. The woman was shot in the chest and taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition. 

Surveillance video shows the moments that led up to the woman being shot. The video shows a tow truck on Halsted Street waiting to turn left onto 59th Street.

The woman is sitting on a bench, and as the truck turns, a quick flash is seen. The woman slumps over, rocks back and forth, and then walks around.

Anthony Allen is a security guard for a BP gas station at the intersection. He said he heard a woman yelling she had been shot.

"That's when I went to her and she told me she had been shot, and it was like, the blood was coming from the middle," said Allen.

Allen said he was inside the gas station store when he heard the gunshot.

"They were immediately informed to lock the doors," said Allen. "All of the people inside the store go to the back."

Following the shooting on 59th Street, officers put several evidence markers on the ground where the woman was shot.

"I'm tired of the violence," Allen said.

Representatives of "A Knock at Midnight," a nonprofit community-based organization in Englewood, came to the gas station promoting peace and to offer resources.

"The goal is to get them to stop it," said Breyonna Roberts, a victim service advocate for A Knock at Midnight. "It's like, it's nonsense. They're killing each other for no reason."

Police said no one has been arrested in either of the shootings, and have not confirmed if any of the incidents are related.

Wentworth Area detectives were investigating Wednesday afternoon.
