A few were, JH, but more by a very uncharacteristic personal attack.

I viewed #118 as a personal insult and attack.

The Chicago Sun-Times keeps a record of every reported homicide in the city, link here
https://graphics.suntimes.com/homicides/
No one reported in custody yet for any of the shootings.
Quite a few shootings seem to be drive-bys in the early hours targeting young black males. One would presume these are gang or drug-related, but there's rarely legal evidence thereof.
Here's an interesting one - a guy who brought a knife to a gunfight, and won!
https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2022 ... bing-crime
The 15yo 'victim' of the stabbing is on video, with 6 of his mates, using a gun in an attempted robbery on the subway at 3am. The intended victim managed to knife him first.
