After the shooting had stopped, another man could then be heard talking about taking the individual to a hospital as a woman wailed in the background.

"Oh my God, no!" she could be heard screaming. "[N]o, no, no, no!"

The New York Daily News reported the victim was in critical condition Thursday night and had sustained multiple gun shot wounds.

The suspect was thought to have approached the man, before fleeing in a vehicle, Sweeney told BuzzFeed.

The shooting is the latest example of the mass violence that has plagued Chicago in recent times. The city is off this year to its most violent start in more than a decade, according to  the Chicago Tribune.
