Mother of three Jamie Varvaris fatally shot on block where she lived in Chicago Lawn

Jamie Varvaris was shot and killed last week on the block where she lived in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood.

Officers responding about 12:43 a.m. July 20 to reports of shots fired in the 3200 block of West 62nd Street found the 37-year-old on the sidewalk with a gunshot wound to the right buttock, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Varvaris, a mother of three, was taken to Holy Cross Hospital and later transferred to Mount Sinai Hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 5:58 a.m., authorities said. She lived on the same block where she was shot.

An autopsy found she died of a gunshot wound to the back, and her death was ruled a homicide.

A GoFundMe page has been set up to help the children.
