9 people — including 3 in car caravan in Brighton Park — fatally shot overnight in Chicago, police say. Teen in North Lawndale also among the victims.
Tire skids are visible in the intersection at Archer and Kedzie in Brighton Park on Oct. 23, 2022, after an overnight shooting involving a car caravan killed three people.
About 4 a.m., officers responded to the 4300 block of South Kedzie Avenue, where vehicles were drifting in the middle of the street. According to the city code, drifting refers to when a driver purposely makes a vehicle “spin, skid, slide, turn abruptly or sway” upon acceleration or braking, often to make circles or figure eights.A shot spotter alerted at least 13 rounds had been fired. As initial police units arrived, officers discovered five people shot. Three succumbed to their injuries.
“There were several calls of car caravans citywide, all over, this was the first we responded to in the 9th District. ... I don’t know the specifics of the other car caravans,” Jerome said. “Caravans a semi-recent phenomenon where they gather throughout different points of the city, and there were several others last night of no consequence.”
“I think what we’re seeing is the merging of this drag racing circuit with gang life. And now, those ramifications are unfolding on our streets,” he said. “But this emergence of people coming armed to these events and shooting at each other — that is a relatively new but growing trend, from what I’m told.”

Three Ohio justices err in revealing views on abortion issues likely to come before them: editorialIn a year when a flurry of abortion litigating and legislating was to be expected in Ohio, the decision by three Ohio Supreme Court justices on the Nov. 8 ballot to share their personal and legal views on abortion and when life begins -- while not technically barred by the state's Code of Judicial Conduct -- cannot help but further erode trust in the judiciary, the editorial board of The Plain Dealer and cleveland.com writes today.
