17-year-old Tyler Parks killed after shooting in West Pullman
A 17-year-old boy, Tyler Parks, was tragically shot and killed on Saturday evening in Chicago’s West Pullman neighborhood on the Far South Side.
At approximately 7 p.m. on November 9, 2024, Chicago Police responded to a call about an unconscious person on 125th Street and State Street.
When officers arrived, they found Tyler lying in the middle of the street, suffering from a gunshot wound to the neck. Sadly, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
