A woman who was killed in a shooting that also left a man wounded more than a week ago in the South Side Englewood neighborhood has been identified.

Lakiya Iman Adams, 20, and an 18-year-old man were sitting in a vehicle about 3:40 p.m. in the 5600 block of South Emerald when someone in a passing dark-colored Audi fired shots, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Adams was shot in her body and pronounced dead at the scene at 4:15 p.m., according to police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office. He lives in the South Shore neighborhood.

The man suffered a gunshot wound to his leg and showed up at St. Bernard Hospital, where his condition stabilized, police said.

No one was in custody as Area South detectives investigated the shooting.
