A man was killed, and a woman was critically injured in a shooting Saturday night in Humboldt Park in Chicago.
The shooting took place as people were leaving Chicago’s 43rd Annual Puerto Rican People’s Day Parade, which people from all over the country and Puerto Rico travel to the city to attend.
The victims had a large Puerto Rican flag waving from their car when they were approached by a mob of black men and pulled from the vehicle and shot.
The media has been silent as to the motive of this execution. There is a possibility this was racially motivated due to the Puerto Rican Flag and this event taking place a day after Juneteenth events, which have resulted in violence around the nation.
Police say the couple was “ambushed” by “up to three males.”
ABC 7 reports that “the man was rushed to Saints Mary and Elizabeth Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, police said. He has not been identified. The woman was struck in the neck and rushed to Stroger Hospital in critical condition, police said.”
The couple was dragged out of their car and executed. In the graphic video, the male is shielding his partner from the gunshots. The story has drawn no national media attention.
On Saturday alone, there were over 20 shootings in Chicago, such as every weekend, under the leadership of notoriously racist Chicago Mayor Lightfoot.
No arrests have been announced at this time
