On July 4, 2024, a mass shooting in the Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood of Chicago left five family members shot inside a home in the 7100 block of South Woodlawn. Officers responding to a ShotSpotter alert arrived about 6:15 a.m. and found two women and three boys shot. Nakeeshia Strong, 45, and Caprice Edwards, 24, were both pronounced dead; Strong at the scene and Edwards after being taken to the University of Chicago Hospital.

Three boys, ages 5, 7, and 8, were critically injured and transported to Comer Children’s Hospital. One of the 8-year-old boys, Bryson Orr, later died following surgery. Bryson was a member of Strong’s family; the other injured boys were relatives, including an 8-year-old cousin named Jacoby. Police say multiple shooters opened fire after a personal dispute and then fled, and no arrests have been announced.

This attack occurred amid several mass shootings across the city that Fourth of July weekend and has left the family and community grieving. Does anyone have information about the shooting or knew the family that could help investigators?
