Mass Shooting Leaves Three Dead, Eight Injured
A $10,000 reward has been offered by Cook County Crime Stoppers to anyone who can provide information leading to an arrest in the mass shooting that killed three people and left eight others injured in Chicago Lawn.
Shooting Report
On December 2, 2022, at approximately 2:10 p.m., officers responded to a call of people shot at a home in the 3500 block of West 59th Street. Eight people, four men and four women between the ages of 20 and 35, were found shot. Two men, 28-year-old Jon Carlos Blancarcer and 32-year-old Osmer Angel Ferrer Oria, were pronounced dead at the scene. A third man, Hector M. Sajo, 26, died at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.
Investigation Continues
Witnesses told police they were having a birthday party when a fight erupted in the hallway of the basement, and "moments later, multiple gunshots were heard." According to a police report, witnesses told investigators that after leaving a club in the 2500 block of South Kedzie Avenue, the group wanted to "continue the party" and relocated to the house on 59th Street where a popular Venezuelan DJ was performing.
Suspect Sought
The report said the shooter or shooters may have arrived in a green Subaru and tried to flee in it after the shooting, but they ended up running away, north on St. Louis Avenue. Police found a "gun box" on the rear floorboard, and the Subaru was towed to an auto pound for processing. Officials have been unable to provide a potential motive or any other information.
