Jeremy Spivey was killed in a shooting that left a woman and a teenager wounded in the Northwest Side Albany Park neighborhood early Sunday.
Spivey, 23, and the two others were sitting in a van in an alley near Sunnyside and Kimball about 2:30 a.m. when a male suspect walked up and fired shots, according to police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
Spivey, of the 4700 block of West Belmont, was shot multiple times and taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 4:03 a.m., authorities said.
A 17-year-old boy was shot in the right leg and taken to Masonic, where his condition was stabilized. A 26-year-old woman was shot in the right finger and was being treated at Swedish Covenant Hospital, police said.

Relatives of the 17-year-old, who live near the shooting, said they spent the day barbecuing and watching fireworks for the Fourth of July. A female relative said she heard gunshots around the home between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m., then again at 10 p.m.
She took her family inside just five minutes before the shooting. She and her children said they heard about seven gunshots but didn’t think anything of it until they heard ambulances pull up.
Police are investigating whether the shooting was gang-related.
