She was shot four times - twice in the chest, once in the abdomen and again in the hand. The woman, Charnella Lemon, was 8-months pregnant. One such killing occurred on a sunny Friday morning in late September 2017 when a 33-year-old man and 20-year-old woman were fatally shot as they were in a car parked in a vacant lot on the Far South Side.

In 2021, when the city logged more than 800 murders, CPD detectives cleared 346 cases, a 160% increase from 2012 when the department reported 133 clearances.
