The shooting was reported shortly after 10 p.m., but police have yet to locate an actual crime scene.
One report indicated the shooting occurred on the 5700 block of North Sheridan Road.
Another source said the victim was possibly shot on the 1000 block of West Hollywood Avenue, near Hollywood and Kenmore.

UPDATE: We're not sure if this information is related, but at 10:41 p.m., another 911 caller reported a second shooting at on the 5600 block of North Kenmore Avenue.
According to police dispatch, the caller said a black male in his late teens or early 20s fired one shot at another black male near the intersection of Kenmore and Hollywood Avenues.
The alleged shooter fled eastbound on Hollywood and the victim ran westbound on the same street.
Per the latest update, we were told police never found the purported gunman or the alleged victim.
Strange as I was just in that area today. For the first time in years I noticed there wasn't that crappy "element" all over, including up/down Bryn Mawr both near and away from the Red Line station. None loitering in droves in front of the stores, nor in them either. Was there a BBQ for them all at the lakefront? Did they leave town for the holiday weekend?
ReplyDeleteAll in all a nice day but guess you should never let your guard down, huh?
The nerds over at everyblock were very concerned when you took a brief break. They seem to think they won some sort of battle with ads disappearing.
ReplyDeleteNerds is kinda appropriate. I use the term "dorks". Is there a significant difference?
ReplyDeletethey were fireworks you idiots...I swear the suburban transplants on this blog just look for reasons to freak out.
ReplyDelete@1:32pm, I know the dorks at EB rogerspark think that they scared CNR into hiding. However, unlike them, he actually has other things to do then spend all day monitoring the internet. Glad to see you are back CNR.
ReplyDeleteEveryblock is owned by MSNBC. I am not surprised by their behavior...
ReplyDeleteCorrection: tranplants to the city usually consist of people from surrounding Midwest towns such as Michigan, Iowa, Indiana, etc. Once they get here they think they're true urbanites and look down on suburbanites. Poor things. It's a pathetic joke.
ReplyDeleteCNR cheerleaders, you're glad to have this blog as your justification for your fear and avoidance of and hatred of black people. Seriously, how do the descriptions in these posts help you? You see a description of "black male" and you say, "see, I told you so," and you do everything possible to shun and express your disdain of black people.
ReplyDeleteCNR hater, why do you have such a problem with reporting the race of criminals?
DeleteA nerd is someone with intelligence, but socially inept.
ReplyDeleteA dork is both of those things with the added problem of being obsessed with something thoroughly obscure.
"I live in a highrise because it's safe". 20 year Bryn Mawr "Historic District" lover and resident. He hadn't a clue about the true history of that Renaissance Building he lived next to and, seriously, said he never even noticed it before.
ReplyDeleteThese wannabe art transplants stick their foot in their mouth everytime they awaken. We're both from the same state you all deplore.
Anon @ 12:15......being SSA myself, I'm more scared of the gay dorks in Edgewater, Uptown, Rogers Park and Flakeview than I am of "black people". I shun the "we love you people" gay dorks (only for a $) even though they have never even interacted with, or even truly encountered them. Madonna and George Clinton fans will never mix other than living in squalor together but separately. Try something else. Try embracing true diversity and lifting yourselves up and.....OUT.......of stupidty and ignorance.
