The 20-year-old Crosby, known to friends as “Koboy Savage,” was sitting in a vehicle with a 17-year-old girl about 2:20 p.m. June 12 in the 1500 block of South Kildare, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
A dark-colored SUV pulled up and someone inside fired shots toward the vehicle, police said.
Crosby, who lived about a block away, suffered a gunshot wound to the head, and was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he died at 3:21 p.m., police and the medical examiner’s office said.
Johnson, who lived about a block away, who was standing on the sidewalk nearby when the shooting occurred, police said.
The boy also suffered a gunshot wound to the head, and was taken to Mount Sinai. He was pronounced dead there at 11:57 a.m. June 13. He lived about a block away from the shooting.
The girl was shot in the abdomen, and was taken to Mount Sinai in serious condition.
A police source said investigators do not believe Johnson was an intended target of the shooting.
