Forty-six people have been shot, nine fatally, in shootings across the city over the weekend, police said.
One of the shooting victims was Terry'a Adams. She was one of seven people shot during a gathering Saturday night in the Austin neighborhood for her boyfriend, who died in a car crash.
A vigil was held in her honor on Monday evening. Those who loved Terry'a remembered her for her kindness.
"She loved to be around everybody. She's a people person," said Pinkie McBride, Adams' mother. "Terry'a had love for everybody. She was always like a peacemaker, a peacemaker."
Surveillance video shows the moment gunfire erupted on Iowa near Cicero as dozens of people ran for their lives.
"The kids all just said they were out there dancing, singing, having a good time and all they heard was gunshots," McBride said. They ain't seen nobody. They just heard gunshots. That's it, so everybody is running. Everybody is running."
Among them was the alleged gunman, dressed in jeans and a white top as he opened fire before running away.
"I want to say to the new mayor: We voted you in. You said you was going to deal with guns. I need you to step up," McBride said.
Mayor Brandon Johnson doesn't live far from where the shooting happened. At Monday's graduation ceremony ceremony, he pledged work with the Chicago Police Department to make the city safer while welcoming 260 new recruits to the force. --->READ MORE HERE
