800 block W. Lakeside St.

Details

Several shots were fired in the 800 block of W. Lakeside St. last evening, with responding officers being advised that community members were now seeing a couple of young men running around backyards. The MPD recovered several shell casings in the roadway. A neighborhood canvass turned up no injured people or property damage. One family reported someone knocking at their backdoor while on a cellphone. This young man was frantically asking for the person on the other end of the call to come pick him up. Many people were out walking, taking a break from sheltering in their homes, and also saw a young man on a phone in the area of South Shore Dr. Some heard him yell into the phone: "Come pick me up!" Moments later he got into a dark colored sedan with tinted windows, possibly a Lincoln. It sped from the area. Another witness saw a second man get into dark colored minivan on Emerson St.
