CHICAGO — Six separate shootings left six people dead and eight people wounded on the South and West Sides of the city between Monday morning and Tuesday morning, police said.
A family was coming home from an outing in Back of the Yards when someone shot at them, wounding an 11-month-old baby and killing his mother and grandmother, police said. Two other men were also wounded.
Just after midnight, five people were shot — three fatally — in Fuller Park, according to Officer Jose Estrada, a Chicago Police spokesman.
Around 12:10 a.m., the group was standing on the sidewalk in the 300 block of West 42nd Street when two men emerged from a nearby alley and started shooting, Estrada said.
A 24-year-old woman was pronounced dead on the scene after being shot in her chest, Estrada said.
Two men, 25 and 30, were shot in their heads and pronounced dead after being taken to area hospitals, police said. The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office identified the 25-year-old as Antian Hardmon, of the 7200 block of South Langley Avenue.
Another two people, a 24-year-old woman and a 36-year-old man, were shot in their legs, Estrada said. The woman was taken to Stroger Hospital, where her condition stabilized, and the man was taken to Provident Hospital, where he was listed in good condition.

Around 10:50 a.m., the man, identified by the medical examiner as Dwayne Frazier Jr., of the 2600 West Gladys Avenue, was shot multiple times in his chest and arm, Estrada said.
An acquaintance drove Frazier from where he was shot, in the 100 block of North Kedzie Avenue, to Mount Sinai Hospital, Estrada said. There he was pronounced dead.
