“Justice for Jai’Mani” and “justice for number seven” were among the rallying cries for the boy who was shot and killed Tuesday outside his home on the Near West Side. No one has been arrested.
The boy was walking out of his home about 3 p.m. in the 2300 block of West Jackson Boulevard when shots were fired, striking him in the chest, police said. Sources say an assault-style rifle was used in the attack.
The girl and two men were in fair condition after a man on a bike shot them and fled Monday night, police said.
In all, at least 72 people were hit by gunfire from Friday evening through the predawn hours of Monday, according to data collected by the Sun-Times. Eight of them died.
