Police in Chicago are investigating who opened fire inside a South Side apartment on Wednesday, killing a woman and her father but leaving a toddler uninjured.
Just before 11 a.m., police were called to the 8100-block of South Drexel Avenue in East Chatham to check on someone’s well-being.
A 27-year-old lady and a 79-year-old man were discovered dead when police came and forced entry, according to the police. A 2-year-old was discovered safe. To be observed, the child was brought to Comer Children’s Hospital. Javonni Jenkins and her father Curtis Hardman have been named as the victims. Curtis Hardman Jr., Hardman’s son, expressed his horror at his father’s and half-tragically sister’s abrupt passing.
He now hopes that his family can join together to take care of his Jenkin’s young son, who is now orphaned. He was simply a wonderful person. No matter what, he was always there for me, Curtis Jr. A kind family man who taught his son to swim and supported him after he graduated from high school, Curtis Jr. has pleasant recollections of his father. He was always humorous and enjoyable to chat to, according to Curtis Jr. He would give you the last $5 he had in his pocket if you needed money. “When my brother called and inquired about my well-being, I questioned his motives. I responded, “I’m OK, what’s up?”
At Holy Cross Hospital, Jenkins was a well-liked medical assistant. Dr. Ngozi Ezike, CEO of the hospital, issued a statement regarding her passing on Thursday that included the following: “Our hearts go out to Javonni’s family on behalf of everyone at Holy Cross Hospital and the whole Sinai Chicago family. Please remember them in your prayers and in your thoughts.”
The well-being check was started by Jenkin’s coworkers when she failed to arrive for work. According to them, they called her after realizing something was wrong but were eventually answered by Jenkins’ 2-year-old son, CJ, according to ABC7 Chicago. “Nobody was responding, until the infant eventually spoke up.
For several hours, the coworkers FaceTimed the young child. One coworker who didn’t want to be named stated, “All we could see was from his face up, so the ceiling the most of the time.” They could not hear any adults in the background as he was essentially simply walking about. Nicole Worth, another of Jenkins’ coworkers, recalled that the infant was happy and playing with his toys the entire time she was talking to him on the phone. “Once I had the infant on the phone, after a period of time without the baby’s parents calling, you don’t hear that — there’s something wrong,” she said. Police found the mother and grandfather dead when the coworkers arrived at the Far South Side apartment. “We traveled a bit, too.”
