A young woman was killed and a man was critically injured Friday afternoon when gunmen in two separate vehicles opened fire on the vehicle they were riding in on the city’s West Side, according to Chicago police.

The victims, a 20-year-old woman and a 19-year-old man were inside a vehicle headed west through an alley behind the 3800 block of West Jackson Boulevard in the Garfield Park neighborhood just before 5 p.m. when the shooting occurred, police said.

An unknown number of gunmen inside a white SUV and white sedan opened fire toward the vehicle, striking the woman twice in the chest and the man once in the back, according to authorities. The woman was rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital where she was pronounced dead, while her companion arrived in critical condition, police said.

The victims’ identities weren’t yet released publicly. The gunmen’s vehicles fled the scene after the shooting and no arrests had been made Friday evening.
