Chicago police responded to massive crowds of teenagers Saturday night at Millennium Park, one day after a similar gathering took place at 31st Street Beach, prompting police to heighten their presence along the lakefront.
"We were actually on live and heard the gunshots, and then he just collapsed on the ground," the witness told NBC 5.
"It was a car, they were standing on multiple cars, standing on cars, and one of the cars just kept driving in circles, which I believe that’s the one that caught on fire, they set on fire," the witness said. "Last night, CPD monitored activity happening across the city and officers were in place to quickly respond to active incidents and large gatherings," the statement added."We will continue to have sufficient resources in place as we work to strengthen safety in every neighborhood."
