Chicago police are investigating a deadly shooting that occurred early Sunday morning in the West Town neighborhood, leaving a 28-year-old man dead. Officials say the incident has raised concerns among residents, as detectives work to determine what led to the fatal gunfire.

The shooting took place around 3:04 a.m. in the 100 block of North Elizabeth Street. When officers arrived, they found the victim, later identified as Jerrodte Shelby, lying on the ground with a gunshot wound to his abdomen. The scene was immediately secured as authorities called for medical assistance and began gathering initial evidence.

Shelby was rushed to Stroger Hospital for emergency treatment. For several hours, his condition was unknown to the public, and police had not released details about the severity of his injuries. On Monday, the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed that Shelby had died as a result of the gunshot wound, officially classifying the case as a homicide.

No arrests have been made, and investigators continue to search for the person responsible. Detectives are reviewing any available surveillance footage, interviewing potential witnesses, and analyzing evidence from the scene in hopes of identifying a suspect. Police have not yet shared information regarding a possible motive or whether the shooting may have been targeted or random.

The early-morning incident has left the West Town community unsettled, especially as details remain limited. Residents in the area have urged anyone who may have heard or seen anything unusual around the time of the shooting to come forward and assist investigators.

Chicago police are asking anyone with information about the case to contact the department or submit an anonymous tip through local crime-reporting channels. As the investigation moves forward, authorities remain committed to seeking justice for Shelby and providing clarity to the community.
