CHICAGO — An 18-year-old woman was killed and five others were wounded in two separate shootings overnight Tuesday.

Marissa Boyd-Stangley, of the 7400 block of South Eberhart Avenue, was pronounced dead just after 6 a.m. Tuesday morning, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.

Boyd-Stangley was driving in a car with four other people in the 7300 block of South King Drive when another car pulled alongside the group and opened fire, said Officer Hector Alfaro, a police spokesman.

Boyd-Stangley was shot in her head and was dead on arrival. A 20-year-old man was shot in his chest and was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in serious condition, Alfaro said.

Two men, both 18, were shot in the hand and were taken in good condition to Jackson Park Hospital.

Another 20-year-old man was also wounded in the shooting. He was shot in his shoulder and was taken to St. Bernard Hospital where his condition stabilized.

No one was in custody for the shooting as of early Tuesday morning, police said.

About 10:30 p.m. Monday, a 29-year-old man was shot in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood.

The man was walking across the street in the 2400 block of West Lithuanian Plaza Court when he was shot in his left buttocks, Alfaro said. He was taken in good condition to Mount Sinai Hospital.
