Four people have been shot and one person is dead after a shooting in West Garfield Park Saturday on Chicago's West Side.

The shooting occurred in the 100-block of South Keeler Avenue just before 7 p.m., according to Chicago police.

The four victims were inside a vehicle when they were struck by unknown gunfire, police said. The victims then relocated the vehicle to the 500-block of South Pulaski Road where they struck a Chicago Fire Department vehicle.

Located in the East Garfield Park Community, Garfield Park totals 172.57 acres and features the historic Golden Dome field house. The field house holds a gymnasium, auditorium, dance studio, fitness center, boxing center, grand ballroom and meeting rooms. GARFIELD PARK — The West Side may get a lot of bad press about gun violence and poverty, but legacy residents of East Garfield Park have always known their neighborhood is prime real estate. Just a 10-minute ride Downtown by the Green Line, the neighborhood is positioned within arm’s reach of the city’s major employment. It is the mission of the Port of Garfield to pursue Economic and Community Development, to promote tourism and to improve the District for Garfield County and its citizens.

In 1893 the West Side’s first elevated railroad–another Mike McDonald project–went up over Lake Street. This line was soon joined by the Garfield Park ‘L’ at Harrison Street. 29, the 11th Police District, which includes West Garfield Park, has seen 328 shootings (up 43% from the same time last year) and 72 homicides (up 20% from last year at this time). Walter Amir Jones Jr., the executive director of Fathers Who Care, said he feels West Garfield Park is often overlooked as a community deeply.

A 21-year-old man was struck in the back and forearm. He was transferred to Mt. Sinai hospital where he was pronounced dead, officials said.

A 17-year-old girl and a 19-year-old man were both struck in the back and transported to Stroger hospital in serious condition. A 34-year-old man was also struck multiple times in the body and was taken to Mt. Sinai in critical condition, police said.

There were no reported injuries from the occupants of the CFD vehicle, according to officials.

No offenders are in custody. Area Four Detectives are investigating.

CHICAGO (CBS) — A Chicago actress and her foundation brought 3,000 toys, food, and countless smiles to the West Garfield Park neighborhood for the holidays Wednesday.

As CBS 2’s Marissa Parra reported, people waited for more than two hours in their cars for the giveaway, and there were lines that stretched over 15 blocks – dramatically underscoring the need.

As everyone watched out, there was no reason to cry, nor to pout – quite the contrary, and we’re telling you why. Two days before Christmas, Santa Claus came to down on the West Side just a little early. There were toys of all shapes, sizes, and colors for boys and girls and men and women of all ages.

“We’re giving away toys, beauty products, food, coats, shoes!” said actress and philanthropist Ta’Rhonda Jones. “And we’re not just giving back to the kids. We’re giving back to the adults as well.”

Jones could easily fit the part as one of Santa’s elves. She is one of the brains behind the whole operation.

And this year, Santa’s got his work cut out for him.

“I want some baby dolls,” a youngster said.

“I hope my cat gets the medical bills he needs to survive,” another visitor said.

“Anything we can get!” a man said.

The lines of people on foot and by car were impossible to count.

“Thousands of people here today,” said Afrika Porter of Afrika Melanie Public Relations.

“It’s like a thousand cars,” said Melanie Brown of the same organization. “Ain’t no telling now how many cars there are.”

“We need a little help!” Jones added. “Santa is struggling today!”

And a lot of those cars weren’t even in line for toys. Some were just hoping for a box of food.

It was all a glimpse at 2020’s toll as food pantries across Chicago have seen double the need since the pandemic started.

“Especially now with COVID, I know a lot of folks losing their jobs. They’re not able to do Christmas like they normally would,” Jones said, “so that’s what we’re here for, and that’s what we’re trying to do – make sure people have a great Christmas this year.”

As Jones and her team like to say, it takes a village.
