Two teens who had been reported missing were among the four people killed and 54 people shot this weekend in Chicago, as the city’s gun violence epidemic continued unabated.
The weekend tally was up compared to the same weekend in 2017, which saw 48 people shot and five killed, officials told Fox News on Monday.
Raysuan Turner, 16, and Darnelle Flowers, 17, were found Sunday night at about 11:57 p.m. shot to death in a field on the Far South Side of the city, police said. They had vanished day earlier, FOX 32 Chicago reported.
Across the city, the news of weekend shootings were coming in faster than police could get to the scene.
Amid the surging violence and bloodshed, pressure has been building for action from Mayor Rahm Emanuel, or for his resignation. He came under fire this past week for comments linking the violence outbursts in his city and the moral character of people in some ethnic neighborhoods.
