The shooting at Merrill Park in the 2100 block of East 96th Place occurred when gunmen opened fire on a group in a Southeast Side park Monday night, killing a
17-year-old boy and wounding three others.
The four victims shot in the park were all standing in the park about 10:18
p.m., when police said at least two gunmen, one armed with a handgun and the
other with a rifle, emerged from a nearby gangway and opened fire.
A 17-year-old boy who was wounded in the neck was taken to Advocate Christ
Medical Center in Oak Lawn, police said. The victim, identified as Alixi
Johnson, of the 9600 block of South Merrill Avenue, was declared dead at 11:01
a.m. at Christ Medical Center.
A 34-year-old woman struck in the abdomen, was taken to John H. Stroger
Hospital in "stable" condition. Two other victims, a man, 21, and a woman, 30,
were each hospitalized with gunshot wounds to the leg.
UPDATE:
The woman, Janeen Hancock, 34, was pronounced dead at John H. Stroger, Jr.
Hospital of Cook County at 7:35 p.m. Tuesday, nearly an entire day after two
males sprayed gunfire across Merrill Park near 96th Place and Merrill Avenue in
the Jeffery Manor neighborhood on the Southeast Side.

Thats fucked up I knew her n she most defly didnt deserve that to happen to her even thou she was an ex gang member but shit who ain't apart of a gang now a days but that doesn't give any one a reason to commit this sinceless crime now we got 3 more children mother less thanks to u stupid fake ass thugs $mh r.i.p/b.i.p
Smh..now it's gne another war..LAFA against Murda Park....Them LAFA's need to calm down
She was not in no gang
Fuck them they got wat they deserve
Wow to say they got what they deserved is just wrong. No one deserves to lose their life by way of a senseless shooting unless that was the life style they lived, and she did not live that life style.
