Parish McKenzie, 21, was killed in a mass shooting on July 22, 2018, on Chicago’s South Side. McKenzie and a friend, Tremel L. Thomas, 22, were sitting in a parked vehicle in the 5500 block of South Wells when they were shot at about 5:35 a.m. Both men suffered multiple gunshot wounds; McKenzie died of a gunshot wound to the chest and was pronounced dead at 6:03 a.m. Thomas was pronounced dead later at 7:55 a.m. A 28-year-old man in the same vehicle survived but was critically wounded and transferred to Stroger Hospital.

Investigators recovered 48 shell casings at the scene. Later accounts say McKenzie and Thomas had been among seven men sitting on a park bench in East Garfield Park when four men approached and opened fire; the shooters fled in a stolen vehicle. The deaths were ruled homicides. No arrests or suspects had been reported as of the last update.

Does anyone have information about that early-morning shooting or the stolen vehicle used in the getaway?
