A shocking incident took place on a busy street in Wicker Park, Chicago, on Friday morning when a man opened fire on another car following a traffic crash, injuring an 11-year-old boy who was a passenger in the vehicle. The shooting occurred at 8:27 a.m. in the 1400 block of North Western Avenue, leaving residents and witnesses in disbelief.

According to reports, the boy was traveling with one of his grandparents when their vehicle collided with another car, resulting in minor damage. As the relative stepped out of the car to exchange information with the other driver, a man emerged from the passenger side of the second vehicle and began shooting at them. Tragically, one of the bullets struck the boy in his left hand, prompting his immediate transport to Stroger Hospital where he is currently in stable condition.

Witnesses described the shooter as a Black male wearing a black hoodie, standing at 5’7″ tall and weighing around 180 pounds. He was seen fleeing the scene in a vehicle, possibly a gray Infiniti, driven by a woman. The brazen nature of the shooting has left the community shaken and concerned about the safety of their neighborhood.

This incident marks the second shooting in Wicker Park and Bucktown this week, following another shooting earlier in the week where a 15-year-old boy was found shot in the leg in the 2100 block of West North Avenue. The Chicago Police Department has not provided further details about the circumstances of the shooting or the individuals involved.

In recent years, there has been a concerning trend of gun violence in the Wicker Park and Bucktown areas, with eight people shot last year and ten people shot in both 2022 and 2021. These incidents highlight the need for increased efforts to address gun violence and improve public safety in the community.
