The evening of the shooting, police responded to a call in the 2200 block of the South Loop West. At the scene, officers found a red Honda with bullet holes and blood inside. Officers later learned that two women, 24 and 25 years old, were taken to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.
