Arianna Murphy, 19, was fatally shot in the early hours of Easter Sunday, March 31, 2024, inside Poppy’s Chat Room, a café at 5333 W. Madison St. on Chicago’s West Side. She was shot in the head and pronounced dead at the scene at 1:24 a.m.. Arianna had been due to start nursing school in summer 2024 after graduating at the top of her class; family and friends described her as vibrant, outgoing, and not typically a partygoer who had joined friends that night.

Four other females were wounded: a 20-year-old woman with graze wounds to her left leg and face, a 19-year-old shot in the left ankle, a 17-year-old shot in the right leg and listed in critical condition, and a 16-year-old shot in the right toe. Police say an unknown person entered and opened fire on the group. Surveillance footage released by the Chicago Police Department shows six males, aged roughly 15 to 25, with one passing a smartphone, another holding a camera, and one appearing to carry a gun; authorities are asking the public to help identify them. No arrests have been announced; anyone with information is asked to contact Harrison Area detectives or submit tips through cpdtip.com.
