A 7-year-old girl was killed and her father was seriously injured in a shooting at a McDonald’s in Chicago
CHICAGO – A 7-year-old girl was killed and her father seriously injured in a Sunday shooting at a McDonald’s in Chicago.
Jontae Adams and his daughter, Jaslyn, were in a car in a McDonald’s parking lot in the Homan Square neighborhood on Sunday afternoon when they were shot, Chicago police said.
A McDonald’s employee who asked not to be named told the Chicago Sun-Times that two people got out of a gray car in the drive-thru and started firing at Adams’s car.
The girl, who has three siblings, was repeatedly shot and taken to a hospital where she was pronounced dead. Her father was shot in the torso and taken to the same hospital, where his condition was considered serious, police said.
No arrests have been made and the police have presented no possible motive.
Jaslyn’s aunt, Tawny McMullen, said her niece was “beautiful” and a “very sweet child.” She added that her daughter and Jaslyn were best friends.
Jaslyn’s grandmother, Lawanda McMullen, told the Sun-Times that Jaslyn loved to dance and make TikTok videos.
