Seventeen-year-old Ketrell Hill was killed and a 16-year-old boy wounded in a shooting Monday afternoon just a couple of blocks away from his home in the North Lawndale neighborhood.
About 2 p.m., the boys were on a sidewalk in the 1300 block of South Homan when a black vehicle pulled up. Someone inside opened fire, hitting Hill in the chest and hand, and the 16-year-old in the buttocks, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
They were taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where Hill died at 2:31 p.m., authorities said. He lived in the 3600 block of West Grenshaw.
The condition of the 16-year-old was stabilized, police said.
The shooter’s vehicle took off north on Homan. No one was in custody.
