Two victims were found dead inside a second-floor apartment, and two others were transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition, police said. A fifth victim fled the shooting and ended up at a McDonald's about a half a mile away, near 79th Street and South Yates Boulevard.The two killed had not yet been identified Tuesday morning.
"I can't discuss a motive as it's unique to the crime itself, and I don't want to take that away from the area detectives. What I can say, specifically, is it does not appear to be a random act," said CPD Deputy Chief Sean Loughran. "We're investigating any relationship between any victims and offenders at this time, but it is very, very preliminary to discuss it.
