Chicago shootings

[edit | edit source]

Sometime before 1:50 PM, Nightengale fatally shot 30-year-old Yiran Fan, a PHD student from China, in the head as he sat in his vehicle in a Hyde Park parking garage.[4][5] Shortly afterwards, Nightengale entered an apartment building at 4940 S. East End Ave., where he fatally shot doorwoman 46-year-old Aisha Johnson and wounded a 77-year-old-woman in the head as she grabbed her mail.

Next, Nightengale entered another apartment building in the 5500 block of South East End. Here, he stole a red Toyota from an unidentified acquaintance.[6] He drove to the AK Food Mart convenience store at 9307 S. Halsted St, entered, and fatally shot 20-year-old Anthony Faulkner in the head, then shot and injured an 81-year-old woman in the neck and back.[7][8] Nightengale jumped the counter and robbed the cash register before leaving.

At 4:00 PM,[9] Nightengale shot 15-year-old Damia Smith in the back seat of her mother's vehicle, in the 10300 block of South Halsted Street. Smith would later succumb to her wounds on February 2, 2021.[10]

At an unknown time, Nightengale returned to AK Food Mart and fired at investigating officers. One round struck a police vehicle. No one was injured.

Evanston shootings and shooter's death

[edit | edit source]

In Evanston, Nightengale fired a shot at a CVS Pharmacy at 101 Asbury Ave., striking no one. He entered an IHOP and shot 61-year-old Marta Torres after allegedly taking her hostage. Torres died from her wounds eight days later.[11] Nightengale fled the scene and was quickly pursued by Evanston Police. As he withdrew in the direction of a Dollar General, Nightengale was shot numerous times by officers. He was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.[12]
