Eighteen-year-old Chastity Johnson was killed and a teenage boy wounded Thursday afternoon in an Avalon Park neighborhood shooting on the South Side.
Johnson and a 17-year-old boy were walking about 2:30 p.m. in the 8100 block of South Kimbark,
according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
Two people walked up to them and fired shots, according to police.
Johnson was shot in the chest and died an hour later at Stroger Hospital, according to the medical examiner’s office. She lived several blocks from the scene in the same sneighborhood.
An autopsy Friday found she died of multiple gunshot wounds, and her death was ruled a homicide.
The boy was shot in the back and the leg, and was taken to Stroger in critical condition, police said.
