It was another violent weekend in the city of Chicago with 27 people wounded in shootings and six people killed — including a 5-month-old girl.

Chicago police are warning residents on the Southwest Side about a string of recent robberies this June.

Four robberies were reported in a span of eight days in the Marquette Park and Chicago Lawn neighborhoods, according to CPD community alerts. 

In each incident, a suspect, sometimes armed with a gun, approaches victims and demands their property, police said.
