During a Juneteenth rally on Saturday, Mayor Brandon Johnson was asked about the shooting.

"Last night was another reminder of how much work we still have to do to the lives who have been impacted by gun violence, know that my administration is working overtime not only to hold people accountable, to remove illegal guns off the streets of the city of Chicago," Johnson said.

He added, "We're not going to tolerate the senseless acts of violence. Then we're going to continue to ensure that we make the critical investments to not just hold people accountable, but to make sure that we're preventing these acts of violence from ever occurring."

What we don't know:

It’s unclear exactly what the circumstances were of the gathering or the motive for the shooting.

Area detectives are investigating.
