A teenager was fatally shot in the face — and two men and another teen were wounded — at a party late Saturday in the Austin neighborhood.
But Devin Dyer, 18, was not the intended victim of the shooting in a building in the 5900 block of West Thomas Street, his girlfriend Tiesha Richardson said she believes.
Dyer, of the 1000 block of North Menard, was pronounced dead at Loyola Hospital in Maywood about a half hour after the midnight shooting, according to the medical examiner’s office.
Maybe, just maybe, instead of taking all this data about "shots fired" calls and disturbances and such, the Crystal Ball Unit should just troll the west and south sides for party fliers. That would give them actual addresses of future shooting sites rather than a general one-mile-by-one-mile box that doesn't seem to be working. After all, if they could predict it, they could prevent it, right?
