CHICAGO (AP) – A seven-year-old girl was killed and her father was seriously injured during a shooting Sunday at a McDonald’s in Chicago.
Jontae Adams and his daughter, Jaslyn, were in a car in a McDonald’s parking lot in the Homan Square area Sunday afternoon when they were shot, Chicago police said.
A McDonald’s employee who asked not to be named told the Chicago Sun-Times that two people got into a gray car and started shooting at Adams’ car.
The girl, who has three siblings, was repeatedly shot and taken to a hospital where she was pronounced dead. Her father was shot in the upper body and taken to the same hospital, where his condition was listed as serious, police said.
No arrests were made and police did not offer a possible motive.
Jaslyn’s aunt, Tawny McMullen, said her niece was ‘beautiful’ and a ‘very sweet child’. She added that her daughter and Jaslyn were best friends.
Jaslyn’s grandmother, Lawanda McMullen, told the Sun-Times that Jaslyn likes to dance and make TikTok videos.
