Persha Chew was carrying some groceries into her Back of the Yards home Monday evening, when she heard seven gunshots.

Chew raced outside to find the unthinkable: Her 11-month-old nephew and her pregnant sister on the ground and bloody.


The baby survived and was in stable condition, but his mother and grandmother were both killed, police said. Two other men who were with the women, who were all returning from a family outing, were also wounded.

Chew, 26, scooped up her screaming, wounded nephew and comforted him, just as police arrived at the scene in the 5300 block of South
Aberdeen.

“It’s OK. It’s OK. I’m here,” Chew kept repeating to her nephew.

As she spoke to reporters at Stroger Hospital, her white T-shirt smeared with her nephew’s blood, Chew praised police for their quick thinking. They raced the child from the scene to get to a hospital.


“That was pretty good,” Chew said.
