Date: July 4th, 2025 3:59 AM Author: UN peacekeeper Larry Snelling, the superintendent of the Chicago Police Department, said that an unknown number of shooters opened fire at around 11 p.m. from a dark-colored vehicle as it drove along Chicago Avenue in the city’s River North neighborhood, about a mile from Lake Michigan near the northern edge of downtown. Social media posts suggested that a local rapper, Mello Buckzz, was hosting a private event at the lounge Wednesday evening to celebrate her release of a new album.

Date: July 4th, 2025 4:02 AM Author: UN peacekeeper many bangers “Artis was created as a safe space,” the restaurant’s message on social media said, noting that the business was intended to welcome L.G.B.T.Q. patrons. “Our hearts are with the victims and their loved ones.”
Brendan Reilly, the City Council member for the ward where the shooting occurred, said in a statement that he would immediately pursue closing Artis permanently. Mr. Reilly has pushed for tighter restrictions on large private parties organized by promoters, events that have frequently been the targets of gun violence. In 2022, when a nightclub was operating in the space that now houses Artis, a fight outside that business escalated into gunfire, leaving three people wounded and one dead.
Mr. Reilly said the owner of Artis had provided assurances that the business “would support local artisans, foster inclusivity, and serve as a hub for connection, creativity and joy.” The owners of the restaurant did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday.
The decision to rent the space out for the album release party, Mr. Reilly said, showed that “the new operators were dishonest with the city about their plans for the venue and have now contributed to a devastating act of violence.” |

Date: July 4th, 2025 4:02 AM Author: UN peacekeeper The Fourth of July is often tarnished by gun violence in Chicago, and municipal leaders had already been planning to send police officers and violence prevention workers into neighborhoods and potential hot spots across the city. Gun violence has declined sharply this year in Chicago, but that progress will be tested over the next few days, with large gatherings and intense heat expected.
