A 7-year-old girl was killed and her father was seriously injured in a shooting at a McDonald’s in Chicago
CHICAGO – A 7-year-old girl was killed and her father was seriously injured in a shooting on Sunday at a McDonald’s in Chicago.
Jontae Adams and her daughter, Jaslyn, were in a car Sunday afternoon in a McDonald’s parking lot in Homan Square when they were shot, Chicago police said.
A McDonald’s employee who asked not to be named told the Chicago Sun-Times that two people got out of a gray car in the drive-thru and started firing on Adams’ car.
The girl, who has three brothers, was repeatedly shot and taken to a hospital where she was pronounced dead. Her father was shot in the trunk and taken to the same hospital, where his condition was considered serious, police said.
No arrests were made and the police did not give a possible reason.
Jaslyn’s aunt, Tawny McMullen, said her niece was “beautiful” and “a really sweet baby.” She added that her daughter and Jaslyn were best friends.
Jaslyn’s grandmother, Lawanda McMullen, told the Sun-Times that Jaslyn likes to dance and make TikTok videos.
