According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Deputy Chief Daniel O’Shea said at a press conference on Tuesday that the crime was not typical for the area where it occurred, leading authorities to believe the victims were specifically targeted.
“We don’t expect this type of activity in this neighborhood,” O’Shea told reporters. “This area is well policed, and this is something that was specifically targeted for these individuals … To see this happen in the middle of the day is very, very disturbing.”

“We’ll take every tip we can get,” O’Shea added. “It could be the most minute thing but it helps our detectives out in putting the pieces of this puzzle together.”
Local activist Ja’Mal Green reacted to the news on Twitter, writing, “Prayers up for his family, bring justice to them after this senseless act.” He told the Sun-Times that the artist’s death will likely make many young fans “angry.”
“He was pretty popular and, at the end of the day, there are going to be a lot of people angry at this,” said Green. “A lot of young people are going to lose hope because he was an idol. It’s going to take the city a large effort to help young people cope with this loss.”
