CHICAGO (WLS) — A woman was fatally shot Friday afternoon after an apparent dispute turned violent in Chicago’s Humboldt Park neighborhood, according to police and witnesses.
Authorities said the shooting happened shortly after 3:30 p.m. near Chicago and Homan avenues, where a fight reportedly broke out in traffic before shots were fired.

Investigators said a 27-year-old woman produced a firearm during the confrontation and shot a 36-year-old woman several times in the chest.
The wounded woman was transported to Mt. Sinai Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead. The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office identified her as Shaday Ingram.
Witness Dave Sartore said he initially did not understand the severity of what was unfolding.
“I didn’t assume it was shots until I got, maybe, like, real close, like, right here, and I’m seeing someone not moving, laying in the streets,” Sartore said.
Crime scene tape cordoned off the area as evidence markers dotted the street, a stark sign of the daytime violence that had just taken place.
Sartore later recounted what he saw in the immediate aftermath.
“Just screaming, crying, and hugging a dead body,” Sartore said.

Another witness, José Ramos, said the encounter appeared to begin as a road rage incident.
“I heard people arguing. So, I turn around and I seen two girls and they were just about to get physical. And then, one girl was screaming and another guy. Then, the guy got in and then I heard another lady’s voice. Next thing you know, it’s pow, pow, pow, pow,” Ramos said.
Investigators focused on two vehicles stopped in the middle of the street as part of their response.
Sartore said the location and timing made the violence particularly striking. “But, right there in the middle of the street in the middle of the day, yeah, that is very strange.”
Ramos voiced frustration over the incident. “We need to change this, man. You know, this is too bad.”
Police said the alleged shooter was taken into custody at the scene, where officers also recovered a firearm. Charges were pending as of Friday evening.
