Axel Robledo was celebrating his grandmother’s birthday with family this month on the Lower West Side when he and a group of relatives decided to take a quick trip to a nearby store.
On their way back to the party, two people unleashed gunfire on the group, striking Axel, 13, in the right side of his head. He was rushed to Stroger Hospital, initially in “extremely” critical condition, according to Chicago police officials.
