Jesus Rojano, 17, was shot and killed in a terrible incident that happened early on Saturday morning on the city’s Northwest Side.
The 2000 block of North Pulaski Road, in the Hermosa area, was the location of the incident.
The child was allegedly shot at while on foot close to a Shell petrol station by a person in a white hoodie, according to the police.
The man was quickly taken to Stroger Hospital by the Chicago Fire Department after suffering gunshot wounds to the chest and abdomen.
The victim’s condition worsened despite being in critical condition; regrettably, he perished to his injuries shortly after.
Detectives from Area 5 are looking into the situation and watching video from the Shell fueling station. Anyone with information on this homicide is encouraged to contact Chicago Police or go to CPDTIP.COM to remain anonymous.
