A woman wounded in a shooting that killed her boyfriend last year was slain 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.

The man was shot in the 1000 block of West Maxwell Street. Slugg and Harris were sitting in a parked car in the 1000 block of West Maxwell Street around 4 a.m. on Aug. 28 when a gunman approached and opened fire, police said.
