Chicago Suffers Another Bloody Weekend Leaving 64 Shot, 11 Dead

CHICAGO — A 15-year old boy was the first to die during another violent weekend in Chicago when 64 people were shot, including 11 fatalities, police said.

Terrance Malden was shot in the back around 4:50 p.m. Friday in the 9800 block of S. Hoxie. Malden was on the street when someone in a light-colored car pulled up and started shooting. Malden was taken to University of Chicago Hospital where he died, authorities said.

Police said there were 50 shooting incidents between Friday and Sunday. Malden was one of six juveniles shot during that time, police said.

Police Supt. David Brown on Monday stressed that policing alone won't solve Chicago's shooting problem, urging "other parts of Chicago" to step up and address the lack of opportunity in historically violent neighborhoods.

"This is a complex nuanced problem that will take more than police. ... Questions need to be asked in a much more complex way. If shootings are in areas that are historically violent for years ... when will we ask the questions to other parts of Chicago? When will job opportunities come. When will there be opportunities for these young people to see hope that the drug corner is not their only hope," Brown said.

"I’ll be here every Monday answering questions about the weekend. But if I'm the only one answering questions after the weekend, nothing will change."
