Patricia D. Chew, 24, was fatally shot on September 28, 2015, in Chicago’s Back of the Yards neighborhood. The shooting happened around 7:30 p.m. near 53rd and Aberdeen as Patricia and her mother, Lolita Wells, were exiting a car after a family outing and preparing to enter their home. A gunman in a vehicle opened fire; Patricia, who was pregnant, and her mother were killed. Patricia’s 11-month-old son, Princeton, was also shot but survived and was taken to Stroger Hospital in stable condition. Two men were wounded and taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital, where they were stabilized. No suspect was immediately taken into custody.

Persha Chew, Patricia’s sister, was carrying groceries into the house when she heard the gunfire, ran outside and found her sister and nephew on the ground, then picked up the wounded baby and tried to comfort him until police arrived. The attack occurred during a period of increased shootings in the city and drew comments from city officials about gun violence and accountability.

Does anyone have information about this attack or knew Patricia and her family that could help investigators?
