Authorities in Chicago are currently searching for a suspect who fatally shot two teenagers outside of their high school. The victims, 16-year-old Robert Boston and 17-year-old Monterio Williams, were both students at Innovations High School in the city. The incident, which occurred on Jan. 26, has sparked calls for justice from their families and the community.
According to ABC7, the shooting took place right in front of the school, leading to a manhunt for the responsible shooter. Local activist Andrew Holmes spoke to reporters, stating that the grieving mothers of the boys have faith that the authorities will do their part to bring the perpetrator to justice. He also referred to the killings as an "execution."
Holmes added, "And also, at the same time, who and if anybody made a call from the school saying that these two individuals were walking down the street, this was definitely an execution."
Investigators have determined that two dark-colored vehicles arrived at the school, which serves academically-challenged and troubled youth. A masked shooter then got out of one of the cars and opened fire on the two boys. After the shots were fired, some involved in the incident fled on foot while the drivers of the vehicles drove away. Boston and Williams were taken to the nearest hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
Alicia Shines, the principal of Innovations High School, released a statement on the school's website expressing her condolences for the "tragic loss" of the two students. She said, "It is with profound sadness and deep sorrow that we come together to mourn the devastating loss of two of our students, who were tragically shot and killed while being dismissed for the weekend. This incident has devastated our students, faculty, staff, and community at large. We appreciate the outpouring of support as our school grapples with this senseless act of violence."
Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward as they continue to search for the shooter and investigate the incident. As of now, no arrests have been made and all those involved in the attack are still at large.
In a similar incident, police in Texas are also searching for a suspect who opened fire in a high school classroom, killing multiple students. These tragic events serve as a reminder of the senseless violence that continues to plague our communities. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and loved ones of the victims.
