The woman who died, 25, was sitting in a car with another woman in the 6500 block of South Calumet Avenue when both were shot shortly before 1:30 a.m., police said. The 27-year-old was shot in the head and taken to University of Chicago Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead at 1:50 a.m., according to information from the Cook County medical examiner’s office. She had not been identified Tuesday morning.

“This is an isolated incident, we have a great community and don’t see anything like this. The mayor was just really shook by it and will continue to be upset,” Taylor said. “Hopefully, hopefully, someone has a camera on their house, on their door or someone saw something so we can begin the process of trying to get the information out to the community so we can try to put this thing together and find these people. We’re hoping, we’re praying.”
