Chicago was plagued by violence over Memorial Day weekend when 22 people were shot, including two fatally, ABC7 reported.

A deadly shooting took place during an argument inside a car in the Logan Square area on the city’s Northwest Side on Saturday afternoon. The 35-year-old victim was trying to leave the car when another person inside shot and fatally wounded him.

The shooter then fled the scene and remains at large.

According to the Chicago Tribune, which keeps a running tally of the number of homicides in the city each year, 139 people have been slain in the troubled city so far in 2025. The same outlet reported that 573 people were killed in Chicago in 2024. 

Last week, two Venezuelans living illegally in Chicago were arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in connection with a deadly mass shooting. 

Ricardo Granadillo Padilla, 25, and Edward Martinez Cermeno, 24, suspected members of the violent Tren de Aragua (TdA) street gang, were taken into custody by federal law enforcement for allegedly killing three and wounding five others after opening fire during a December house party.
