At least four people have died and 14 others have been hospitalized following a deadly drive-by shooting in Chicago, police have confirmed. Three of those injured are currently in critical condition. The shooting took place late on Wednesday evening outside a restaurant in the city’s River North neighborhood which was hosting an album release party for local female rapper Mello Buckzz. Chaos erupted when someone sitting in a nearby vehicle opened fire on a crowd standing outside before quickly driving away. Nobody has yet been arrested in connection with the attack, which targeted 13 women and five men aged between 21-32. Two men and two women were among those killed in the attack. Sources told NBC that Mello’s boyfriend and best friend were among those killed in the shooting after sustaining wounds to the chest and head. Three women in critical condition received gunshot wounds to the mouth, leg, and back, while another woman was shot multiple times in various parts of her body. Police are still searching for a suspect.
