man are seen driving in a car with a toddler visible at times in the back seat. Shots ring out, prompting the woman to run from the car, yelling for help. The police's rundown of the triple shooting closely matches that same narrative. The community is outraged by the toddler's death. "Today, Chicago, I want to say happy Valentine's Day, while you're out enjoying your holiday a 2-year-old has been shot and killed on your streets," said community activist Ja'Mal Green. Chicago police spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said Lavontay had been resuscitated and was on life support after the shooting, but succumbed to his injuries shortly before 4 p.m. He is the second child shot and killed since Saturday.
