Attempted Vehicular Hijacking and Shooting at 7552 S Langley, Chicago

Summary: An attempted vehicular hijacking occurred in the alley near 7552 South Langley Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. Multiple shell casings were found at the scene, and a male victim, Ortiz, sustained a gunshot wound to the right thigh. The suspects, described as one Hispanic male and two Black males (two wearing gray hoodies, the driver described as 'chunky' in a blue shirt), attempted to steal a BMW but were unsuccessful. The offenders fled northbound in a silver, older-model Jeep Grand Cherokee. The BMW remained secured inside a garage at the location. The incident prompted a significant police response, and the victim was transported to Jackson Park Hospital. There was a brief fire alarm at a nearby building, which was later determined to be a false alarm due to construction activity.
