Darron Thomas and Kenneth Wallace killed when gunman opens fire on car in Humboldt Park

Darron Thomas and Kenneth J. Wallace were killed and a woman was injured in a shooting early Sunday in the West Side Humboldt Park neighborhood.

The three victims were in a car southbound about 2:35 a.m. in the 500 block of North Avers when shots were fired from the sidewalk, police said.

The driver, 32-year-old Thomas, and the front-seat passenger, 35-year-old Wallace, were both shot multiple times and pronounced dead at the scene, according to police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Wallace lived in the 4800 block of West Washington, while Thomas lived in the 3300 block of West 61st, the medical examiner’s office said.

A 26-year-old woman in the backseat suffered a graze wound to the right ankle and was taken to Norwegian American Hospital, where her condition stabilized.
