A video showing the moment a mother was shot dead while holding her baby, has been leaked on social media. The video which was supposed to be data exclusive to the Chicago Police Department was leaked on social media, and investigators are already conducting further investigations on the people behind the leakage.
CBS Chicago reports the video shows 24-year-old mother Brittany Hill being shot at point-blank range by someone driving by in a car in West Chicago. The footage shows Hill shielding her toddler from gunfire.
The shooting happened in the 1200 block of North Mason Avenue on the far West Side around 8:50 a.m. on Tuesday, May 28. The video is from a city camera in the area of Division and Mason. The video shows that as Hill gets out of her black sedan, a silver Chevy Impala drives down the street and pulls up to her.
According to police, the occupants got out of the car and began shooting. Hill tried to take cover behind a car and used her body to cover the 1-year-old during the gunfire, according to police spokeswoman Michelle Tannehill. Hill was pronounced dead at West Suburban Hospital in Oak Park at 9:25 a.m. Area North detectives are investigating and believe the shooting was not a random act and that the woman was targeted due to gang conflicts, Tannehill said.
Police have now charged Michael Washington, 39, and Eric Adams, 23, in connection with Hill’s death.
