CHICAGO (CBS) — A 17-year-old boy was shot and killed just a few blocks from Kenwood Academy High School Friday after a quarrel with some people in a car.
Chicago Police Deputy Chief Ron Pontecore said at noon Friday, the teen – who was a Chicago Public Schools student – got into a quarrel with some people who were in a vehicle in the 1600 block of East 50th Place, in the Indian Village community on the cusp of Hyde Park and Kenwood.
The people in the car chased the boy to a parking lot, where at least two of the people in the car got out and started shooting.
Police were seen gathering evidence in the parking lot of the Regents Park apartment building at 5035 S. East End Ave., about three blocks east of Kenwood Academy.
The boy was rushed to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he died, Pontecore said.
Pontecore said it appears the victim was a CPS student and he may have attended Kenwood Academy, but this is not certain. He said the school is believed to have an open-campus lunch where students can leave at that time of day.
As of Friday afternoon, no one was in custody in the shooting. Police were canvassing the area for private video, Pontecore said.
Police are asking for help from the public in finding information on the shooting. Anyone with information should call Area One detectives at (312) 747-8380, or submit a tip to CPDTIP.com. Anonymous tips will also be taken at (833) 408-0069.
Pontecore noted that the city offers a $15,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in a homicide case.
