On November 19, 2023, two 14-year-old boys were found shot to death in an alley on the South Side of Chicago, in the 800-block of East 89th Place in the Burnside neighborhood. One victim was identified by the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office as Rashad Dorsey; the second was later identified as Dacarri Womack. The scene was marked by more than 30 bullet casings, and witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots around 2:30 p.m.

Police say a caller had reported an attempted auto theft in progress, describing four males about 14 to 15 years old wearing black hoodies breaking a vehicle’s window. Authorities have not confirmed whether the slain teenagers were part of that group. No arrests have been announced and Area Two Detectives are investigating.

Residents expressed outrage, noting several childcare businesses nearby and ongoing problems with car thefts and gunfire in the neighborhood. If anyone saw activity in the alley around East 89th Place on November 19 or has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
