A 20-year-old man is fighting for his life after a daylight shooting that was caught on camera.
The violence unfolded in March 2025 at the 7900 block of South Drexel Avenue.
Newly shared footage shows the moment two men standing on the sidewalk opened fire on the victim.
The young man was shot in the back as he stepped onto a CTA bus around 1:10 p.m.
Witnesses say the shooters stood calmly on the sidewalk before pulling the trigger.
The victim was rushed to the University of Chicago Medical Center in serious condition.
The video below captures the chaos inside the bus as a bullet shattered the glass partition near the driver.
Police found two shell casings at the scene right outside the bus’s front doors.
No arrests have been made, and the shooters remain at large months after the attack.
Neighborhood residents say they are tired of living in a “war zone” every time the weather warms up.
One local woman admitted she is saving every penny to move her family to the suburbs.
Community leaders believe the video highlights a growing trend of “social media superstars” using guns for fame.
The CTA has faced mounting pressure to increase security following the release of the footage.
Detectives are asking anyone who recognizes the gunmen in the video to come forward immediately.
