"There's blood from this end to this end," community activist Andrew Holmes told Fox 32. "But there's plenty of cameras here."

He said police should be able to get to the bottom of exactly what led to the chaotic shooting with the help of footage captured by multiple cameras in the area.

Thursday night's shooting comes just about a week after a 16-year-old boy was shot and killed near Chicago's iconic "Bean" sculpture in Millennium Park. A 17-year-old boy has been charged with murder in the shooting. Democratic Mayor Lori Lightfoot has since imposed a curfew for minors in the city as violence continues to escalate.
