15 year old girl dies in Chatham hit-and-run

Sun-Times:
A 15-year-old girl who was struck by a car in a hit-and-run accident in the Chatahm neighborhood on the South Side over the weekend died Monday.

The girl -- identified as Shayla Raymond, of the 8500 block of South Buffalo Avenue, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office -- was hit by a vehicle at 11:17 p.m. on Saturday in the 400 block of East 87th Street, police News Affairs Officer Daniel O’Brien said.

Raymond was pronounced dead at 11 a.m. Monday at Advocate Hope Children’s Hospital in Oak Lawn, the medical examiner’s office said.

She was a 9th grade student at Bowen Environmental Studies High School, 2710 E. 89th St., according to Chicago Public Schools spokeswoman Monique Bond.

O’Brien said the girl was initially hospitalized in critical condition after the hit-and-run accident. An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday, according to the medical examiner’s office.
No one is in custody. A description of the car isn't currently available. However police are investigating!

  1. That is heartbreaking, Levois. My heart is in my throat everytime I hear the screech of breaks or an engine going flat-out.

    My prayers to the little girl's family, Pal.
