West suburban resident Gilbert Leroy Wainwright III was fatally shot early Sunday in the Humboldt Park neighborhood while returning from a concert.
Officers responding to a call of shots fired about 12:45 a.m. found the 31-year-old Wainwright lying on the sidewalk in the 3400 block of West Hirsch, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
Wainwright had suffered a gunshot wound to the face and was taken to Norwegian American Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 12:54 a.m., authorities said.
He lived in the 3900 block of Williams Street in Downers Grove.
Friends posted on Facebook that Wainwright was a “juggalo”—the term used for devoted fans of the musical group Insane Clown Posse and similar groups who perform music known as “horrorcore” or “underground rap.”
He was returning from a concert by the group Twiztid when he was killed.
