Man, 14-Year-Old Boy Hurt In Park Manor Shooting
Police Seek 3 Suspects
CHICAGO (CBS) ―
Police want your help to find three suspects in the shooting of a 14-year-old boy and a young man in the South Side's Park Manor neighborhood.
The shooting happened about 11:15 p.m. Thursday night in the 7000 block of South Indiana Avenue, according to police News Affairs Officer Hector Alfaro.
The victims, 20-year-old Keith Davis and a 14-year-old boy were standing on the sidewalk when a gray or silver car pulled up and three males -- all of whom were armed -- got out, according to a Grand Crossing District police lieutenant.
The suspects asked the two, "Where's the weed?'' and when the victims said they didn't have any the three--who appeared to be in their teens or late 20s-- started walking back to the car, the lieutenant said.
One or more of the trio then turned and began firing, striking the boy twice in the right leg and grazing Davis also in the right leg, according to the lieutenant . After they were shot, the victims -- who are not related -- ran to 6948 S. Indiana Ave. where police responded.
The boy was taken to University of Chicago Comer Children's Hospital where he was in "stable" condition and Davis was treated on the scene, according to the lieutenant. No one else was hurt and the car fled southbound on Indiana.
One of the suspects was wearing a baseball cap and the car may be a Chevrolet Impala or Malibu, according to the lieutenant.
The suspects were not in custody as of 1:30 a.m. Friday.
