3 teens shot 1 killed in attempted robery of West Side drug spot: police

A teenager was killed and two others wounded Wednesday when they tried to rob a drug spot in West Garfield Park, police say.

They pulled up in an SUV about 1:30 p.m., got out holding one gun and tried to rob two people standing on a corner in the 100 block of South Kilpatrick Avenue, according to Chicago police.

During the attempted robbery, a man stepped out of an alley and fired several shots at the teens, police said.

The teens got back in the vehicle and the 19-year-old driver, Tyrese Hearon, drove away but crashed nearby into two vehicles and a tree, police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said.

Hearon had been shot multiple times and was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he died, authorities said. He lived in Englewood.
