Sixteen-year-old Daishawn Moore was killed and a 16-year-old girl wounded in a shooting Sunday evening in the West Side Lawndale neighborhood.

The two teens were standing in a gangway about 6:30 p.m. in the 1600 block of South St. Louis, according to Chicago Police.

Someone then fired shots at them from a passing gray car, striking both children.
