A woman who was wounded in a shooting in March in Bronzeville has died.

Cashay Thomas, 18, was pronounced dead Monday afternoon at the University of Illinois Hospital, the Cook County medical examiner’s office said.

On March 21, she was sitting in a vehicle with a 23-year-old man in the 3800 block of South Michigan Avenue when someone opened fire, striking them both, Chicago police said.

The man was shot in his head and pronounced dead at the scene. He was identified as Kelvin Edmonson by the medical examiner’s office, officials said.

An autopsy found Thomas died of complications from her gunshot wounds, the medical examiner’s office said. Her death was ruled a homicide.

No arrests have been reported.
