Kenwood high school ‘community member’ shot multiple times, dies on South Side, officials say

Chicago police officers process a crime scene in a residential parking lot near 50th Place and Cornell Avenue in Chicago where a teenage boy was shot and killed on Sept. 9, 2022.

“This afternoon, we received reports that shots had been fired near our school and that a member of our school community had been injured,” the note said. “The Chicago Police Department and paramedics responded to the scene quickly to provide support. During the police response, we kept students indoors as a safety precaution.”

”The mayor spent the last two years declaring our school communities safe, yet here we are again, about to bury another child, and offer condolences to another family and another school community. This is at least the fourth shooting near one of our schools since classes began, and it’s only the third week of the year,” Gates said in the statement. “And this strategy of offering condolences and no transparent support is failing — and killing — our children.

An additional four officers stood outside the school at the corner of Hyde Park Boulevard and Blackstone Avenue next to two parked unmarked police cars. A few minutes later, a woman and a group of apparent students walked briskly away from the school.“All of us at Chicago Public Schools are saddened to learn of the loss of another young life and we extend our heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and community members impacted by this tragedy.
