According to a previous study, over 60% of homicides in Chicago can be attributed to the area's gang activity. With over 70 pervasive street gangs, Chicago is the most gang-occupied town in America. Every July, the city's murder rate experiences a significant surge. July 2019 was Chicago's most murderous month in nearly three decades. This year, July started horrifically when 73 Chicagoans were shot during the feared "4th of July weekend."
A short video clip recently went viral of a few young Chicagoans engaged in a shootout with their rivals in front of AutoZone near O-Block. Scroll up to take a look.
