A toddler was among two killed and a pregnant woman was injured in a triple shooting on Chicago's West Side in broad daylight Tuesday afternoon.

Authorities said the shooting happened around 1:30 p.m. in the 2300 block of South Kenneth Avenue in the Lawndale neighborhood.

The child, a 2-year-old boy, was killed along with a 25-year-old man, was a documented gang member, police said.

The 2-year-old was identified as Lavontay White, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office. The 25-year-old man's identity will be released pending the notification of his next of kin, an official said.

Authorities initially said Lavontay died, then later reported he was in "grave condition." Moments later, they said the child had succumbed to his injuries.

A 20-year-old woman, identified as Lavontay's aunt who was several months pregnant, was also hurt in the shooting and suffered a gunshot wound to the stomach, police said.

The three victims were in a vehicle in an alley on the block when another vehicle drove past them and someone got out and fired shots, according to officials.

The woman was on Facebook Live as the shooting unfolded, according to Supt. Eddie Johnson.

"We have yet another innocent child that's become a victim of gun violence," Johnson said. "Our children should not have to keep paying the price for repeat gun offenders."

Chicago Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said the department "has very good leads in the investigation." He added that detectives were reviewing surveillance video from the area.

Lavontay is the third child to be shot in Chicago in the last week. An 11-year-old girl died Tuesday morning after being struck in the head by a stray bullet Saturday evening. A 12-year-old girl was also critically wounded in a separate shooting on the city's South Side Saturday just minutes later.

"One victim of one shooting is one too many, but when innocent children are caught in the crossfire of gun violence and young people have their childhood stolen by stray bullets, our consciences are shaken and our hearts are broken. Every parent, regardless of where they live, should be able to take their child for a walk to the park or a ride in the car. These are normal rites of passage of childhood," Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said in a statement while repeating his calls for stricter sentencing for gun offenders. "These shootings must be a turning point for our city. Anyone with information about these crimes owes it to the families of these children to come forward."

I hate to say it but fuck it,I'm starting to not feel anything about the violence that we've become accustomed to and the victim's most times know better than to be riding around,standing in certain area's,being with certain people and just taking it as a fucking game where there is no positive ending at all.

Facebook live,Instagram live,youtube live,video's,live streaming isn't cool no more,we are watching people get murdered,hang themselves and the shit is sad and what's worse is that it's look at it as just entertainment.
 
On Monday, the woman had posted a picture of a red four-door, captioned “fresh car wash get new tires still trying to sell it doe.” Beneath the photo, more than one person chastised her for giving valuable intelligence to her boyfriend’s enemies, or “opps.”

“U posted this pick yo boyfriend opps saw it and they got on y’all ass,” wrote one poster. “sad but if you f – – – wit the streets or street people you gotta be smarter young one.”
 
But on some real shit, where's the technology?
shouldn't these streets be flooded with cameras?
If Trump was REALLY concerned,
he would have cameras around the most violent neighborhoods.
of course, it should REALLY come from city and community leaders.
this is SAD!
a 2 y/o?!?!?!​

Where Rev. B Pumper at now? Shouldn't he be getting the top gang thugs on the phone?
 
The sad shit is, not only was she most likely fucking with them dirt ass dumb motherfuckers, chances are she will go back and start fucking with them again, like nothing happened. :smh:
 
Fuck it blow that bitch up. Its something in the water in Chicago. White folks got florida we got Chicago. Most of these shootings look like they are happening in regular neighborhoods.

Ya'll don't want the military in there but these nigguz on some other shit killing kids every other gotdamn day. :angry: I don't want to hear shit bout economics these nigguz ain't looking for no job and don't want no job.

You really seem bitter lately and you hadn't always been like this, or maybe I'm just noticing.

It's almost like you hate sistas now, which is cool to be, but we all aren't the same.
 
If stayed in the car, she'd be dead as well sadly. All around it's a wild situation.

Honestly, the only way to stem this violence is through economic stimulus directly in these communities. Otherwise, many of these young men will become food for the plates of our criminal justice system and the mortuary services.

No. HBCU's need to give some remedial classes to our churren in Chicago, and implement recruiting seminars and tap into this talent pool that's dying.


Move a Chicago dude to the south, he becomes a productive citizen, and never looks back.

By my child almost dying it really has opened my eyes on the importance of being a good parent...
Meanwhile these motherfucers who cannot keep a pet dog feels that its ok having all these children in some of the worst hoods in America, and when they get shot, grow up to get arrested or killed they are the first ones crying asking for help, when in reality no one can help them from the bad decisions she made from the jump.
 
Sad shit. Just wild. And what's worse is cats will compile a list of cities worse than Chicago trying to act like this shit ain't bad. Like black children aren't being dropped in those cities. :smh: What the fuck type of argument is that?

This is unnecessary bullshit is a problem only the community can solve. Cats need to sit the fuck down and chill. Damn. And let's not act as if they can't. Because if the pigs come through doing sweeps, cats going to sit their asses down at their partner's house who has the game system playing madden or some shit kicking back.

Same shit we did back in the 90s.
