Sixteen-year-old Jaquarius Davis was killed Sunday evening in a drive-by shooting on the block where he lived in the North Lawndale neighborhood on the West Side.
Jaquarius was standing outside at 7:23 p.m. when a red four-door car drove up in the 1200 block of South Avers, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
Someone inside fired shots and the boy was hit, police said.
Jaquarius was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 7:56 p.m., authorities said. He lived on the block where he was shot.
An autopsy Monday showed he died of a gunshot wound to the torso.
