Fifteen-year-old Diego Villada died Monday morning, two days after he was shot on the block where he lived in the Hermosa neighborhood on the Northwest Side.
The boy was in an alley about 12:35 p.m. Saturday in the 2100 block of North Tripp when he was confronted by two males, one of whom fired multiple shots, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
Villada suffered a gunshot wound to the head and was taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 9:45 a.m. Monday, authorities said.
The suspects ran away after the shooting. Area North detectives are investigating.
