She had sustained multiple gunshot wounds to her body, including her abdomen.
Arianna was rushed to the University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition, where she was later pronounced dead.

According to CPD, the victim was sitting at a traffic light when another vehicle pulled up next to her.
The occupants of the second car opened fire, striking Arianna multiple times before speeding away from the scene.
Investigators found approximately 15 shell casings at the crime scene, confirming the high volume of fire directed at the vehicle.
The black Chevy Cruze was visibly damaged by the gunshots.
The shooting has deeply affected the community, with one individual commenting online that Arianna was her daughter’s godchild, stating, “I’m so tired of this!! Rest in Paradise, Ari!”
No suspects are currently in custody, and detectives are actively investigating the targeted shooting.
