CHICAGO (AP) – Two women who were active in the anti-gun violence movement in Chicago were shot to death over the weekend.
Chantell Grant, the mother to three young children, and Andrea Stoudemire, a mother of two, worked with the group Mothers Against Senseless Killings. Authorities say the 26-year-old Grant and the 35-year-old Stoudemire were hit by gunfire late Friday as they stood on a corner in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood.
Police say they found both women down on the sidewalk after a blue SUV drove up and opened fire. A 58-year-old man suffered a graze wound.
Mothers Against Senseless Killings founder Tamar Manasseh says Grant told her children she was headed for a store and would be back.
A Chicago Police Department spokesman said Monday no arrests have been made. Authorities say 48 people were shot over the weekend, eight fatally.
