Animal's wasted another animal in Lawndale

Officials: Slain woman suffered more than 20 gunshot wounds

A woman who had seen her boyfriend gunned down last year was killed over the weekend, and officials say she suffered more than 20 gunshot wounds.

Kimberly Harris, 25, was shot around 7 p.m. Sunday in the backyard of a house in the 2900 block of West Arthington Street in the Lawndale neighborhood, according to Harrison District Police Lt. John Andrews. Shell casings were recovered from the scene, the lieutenant said.

Harris, 25, of the 1100 block of South Laflin Street in the University Village neighborhood, suffered more than 20 gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead an hour later at Mount Sinai Hospital, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office. An autopsy is scheduled for today.

Last summer, Harris witnessed the fatal shooting of her boyfriend, who was allegedly a high-ranking gang member, according to Andrews. The man was shot in the 1000 block of West Maxwell Street.

No arrests have been made in Harris' killing, Andrews said.
