Summary
Chicago police found a 27-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man shot in a vehicle on the University of Chicago campus around 5:35 p.m. Thursday; both later died at the university hospital.
Both victims had gunshot wounds to the head, and officers recovered a firearm at the scene on the 5900 block of South Ellis near Midway Plaisance Ice Skating Rink and Harper Quad.
Video from the scene showed the damaged vehicle appeared to have crashed during or after the shooting, while police have not said whether the victims had any connection to the university.
The killings remain under investigation as Chicago violence again fuels a political clash over President Donald Trump's repeated offers to send the National Guard, which Governor JB Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson oppose.
