A woman fatally shot in Auburn Gresham on Wednesday was a young mother of three, and her 2-year-old son, who was wounded in the same attack, now awaits surgery, according to a GoFundMe started by the child’s godparent.
The woman, 23, was with her son, the boy’s father and another man standing on the sidewalk about 3:15 p.m. Wednesday in the 1200 block of West 81st Street when a black vehicle approached and multiple assailants stepped out and fired toward the group, Chicago Police Chief of Patrol Brian McDermott told reporters.
