Thornella Grubbs, a 28-year-old African American woman, was killed on July 5, 2020, in the Lawndale neighborhood on Chicago’s West Side. She and a group were lighting fireworks on the sidewalk in the 1500 block of South Millard Avenue when a white vehicle approached and someone inside opened fire. Thornella was struck in the head and abdomen and died at Mount Sinai Hospital; the Cook County medical examiner confirmed her death.

Five men, ages 27 to 44, were also wounded in the Millard Avenue shooting. Police initially reported eight shooting victims at the scene but later clarified that six people were shot on Millard Avenue and three others were wounded in a separate incident less than ten minutes later on the 1400 block of South Lawndale Avenue. No arrests or suspects have been identified and the investigation remains open.

Does anyone have information about the Millard Avenue shooting or recall seeing a white vehicle in that area on July 5, 2020?
