It all began with a car chase in Cicero, that turned into a shootout Sunday.

Witnesses reported that they observed a white vehicle chasing a black car in Cicero. The black vehicle collided with two other cars at the Chicago border, followed by assailants opening fire near the intersection of West Roosevelt Road and Cicero Avenue.

First responders got the scene around 12:30 p.m. A total of six people were injured and one person was killed.

A Cicero spokesperson said at least four people suffered gunshot wounds, and one of those victims died on the scene.

The Chicago Fire Department said three other people were injured in the incident.

Two people were transported in critical condition to Stroger Hospital.

Two others were taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital in serious condition. Another person was taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital in good condition.

A sixth person was transported to Loretto Hospital in good condition.

A business owner who was in the area when the violence unfolded, described what they saw.

Louis Rainone, who owns Roosevelt Gold Exchange, described the chaotic scene, “I heard a crash. I heard several loud noises. When I went to the front of the store, I heard multiple gunshots one after another. They targeted the person in that car and started shooting. I reviewed the footage from my security cameras. The white car quickly fled the scene. Soon after, emergency services arrived, and the area has been sealed off since then. All the nearby businesses are closed. It has been one incident after another.”

It happened on a street, some say, has become a pathway paved with ongoing tragedy.

“Somebody can’t even walk to the drug store,” Rainone said. “It’s violence. It’s on an, almost, everyday basis. It’s becoming terrible.”

No one has been taken into custody. The identity of the victim has not been released.
