Incident Overview

On March 25, 2023, at around 10:40 p.m., Chicago police were on patrol in response to reports of shots fired in the vicinity of the 2200 Block of South Sacramento Avenue. The situation escalated as officers made two arrests of juveniles and recovered multiple firearms during their response.

Arrest and Ongoing Hostility

While the arrested juveniles were placed in handcuffs, a sudden turn of events occurred when backup arrived—not in the form of police officers, but rather a gunman. This prompted immediate police action as an officer returned fire in pursuit of the shooter, who was briefly visible, dressed in black and seeking cover.
