Loop shooting: Gergory Crawford killed, woman wounded on Wabash

Gregory Crawford, 35, was shot in the neck and died at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, police said. The woman was shot in both arms and was listed in serious condition.

Two people with gunshot wounds, one of them fatal, flagged down Chicago police for help July 19, 2020, in the 300 block of North Wabash Avenue in the Loop.

A man was killed and a woman was injured in a shooting Sunday in the Loop.

They were in a vehicle heading north in the 300 block of North Wabash Avenue about 2:35 a.m. when they saw a group of males on the east side of the bridge over the Chicago River arguing with someone in the middle of the street, according to Chicago police.

The male in the street fired a handgun toward the group, but hit the man and woman in the vehicle, police said. The victims drove to the first block of East Wacker Drive, where they flagged down police officers and asked for medical attention.

The man, 35-year-old Gregory Crafword of Maywood, was shot in the neck and taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he died, according to police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Autopsy results Monday found Crawford died from his gunshot wound and ruled his death a homicide, the medical examiner’s office said.

The woman, 25, was shot in both arms and taken to Northwestern in serious condition, police said.

No one is in custody as Area Three detectives investigate.
