Chicago PD reporting lowest number of fatal shootings in at least 16 years during Memorial Day weekend – Chicago Sun-Times

As of 8 p.m. Monday, the sole death of the weekend — which runs from 5 p.m. Friday through 5 a.m. Tuesday — came after a toddler fatally shot himself Sunday, according to Chicago police. At least 26 others were shot and injured over Memorial Day weekend, an uptick after 2025 saw the city’s least overall violent Memorial Day weekend since at least 2010.

Actually a more reliable source, Hey Jackass, reported that a 74 year old male was unlived on Friday afternoon as they start tracking the “ traditionally violent Memorial Day weekend “( an accepted concept in CHI, sadly ) on Friday at noon until Tuesday 12:01 am. , a more realistic timeline.
