CHICAGO — The Loomis Food Mart in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood was bustling on a Wednesday night eight years ago when Krystal Jackson and her friends pulled into the parking lot to pick up a few items.
As their car idled outside the store, a gunman in a dark hooded sweatshirt suddenly sprinted across the parking lot in the 6800 block of South Loomis Street and fired at the driver’s side window, the muzzle flashes captured on store security video played in a federal courtroom Monday.
Jackson, 25, tried to dive into the back seat for cover, but she was struck in the head and later died at a nearby hospital. Two of her friends were also struck and seriously wounded.
