Timothy and Jaylan Lockhart were in the 100 block of South Homan Avenue around 4:45 p.m. Saturday when someone opened fire, according to Chicago police.Timothy, 14, was hit several times and died at Stroger Hospital. Jaylan, 15, suffered a gunshot wound to the head and died days later at Stroger.Community activist Andrew Holmes was with the mother outside Stroger on the day Timothy died.
"That's her child," Holmes said. "She carried that baby, nourished that baby for nine months and then it takes a second for someone to take that child's life. They just want justice." At least 75 people were shot and 14 of them were killed over a weekend that celebrated Father's Day and Juneteenth. For the second consecutive weekend, the Harrison police district - where the teens were shot - was the most violent and deadliest in the city.Another man was found shot to death less than a mile from the teens, and just a block from there. A little further West, a man was killed while riding in a car.
Interim police Supt. Fred Waller on Tuesday blamed much of the violence in the district on drugs and rival gangs. He said the department is "reformatting some things" in the district but would not provide any details.
