Daysha Wright, a young mother from the South Side, was shot to death early Wednesday while riding in a car that later crashed in the West Town neighborhood.
The 21-year-old Wright was a passenger in a vehicle in the 2100 block of West Maypole about 12:10 a.m. when someone fired shots and she was struck in the back, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
She was taken to Stroger Hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 1:44 a.m., according to the medical examiner’s office.
Wright, a nursing student who lived in the 5100 block of South Paulina, was not the intended target of the shooting, according to family members.
