According to preliminary reports, Walls was aboard a yacht near Navy Pier when the drowning occurred. Witnesses say she was pulled from the water but was not wearing a life vest at the time. Emergency responders attempted life-saving measures, but she was pronounced dead shortly after. Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident, including whether alcohol or other factors played a role.

Eerie Parallel to Kenneka Jenkins’ Case

The tragedy has drawn eerie comparisons to the 2017 death of Kenneka Jenkins, Walls’ close friend, who was found deceased in a hotel freezer after attending a party at the Crowne Plaza Chicago O’Hare Hotel. Jenkins’ case sparked national outrage and debates about the safety of young Black women at social gatherings. Now, Walls’ untimely passing under similarly mysterious circumstances has reignited concerns about the dangers young partygoers—especially women of color—may face in unregulated or high-risk environments.

In a touching condolence video message directed to Zahrie Walls Mother, Kanneka jerkins mother confirms the bond and friendship Zahrie had with Kanneka and wishes the family strength in their trying times.

Chicago, IL – July 3, 2025 – A mass shooting in the Altgeld Gardens neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side, that many in the streets have called a retaliation for the Mass Shooting earlier at rapper Mello Buckzz Album release party has left four people wounded in the early hours of Wednesday morning, marking another violent incident in a city grappling with gun violence.

Details of the Shooting

According to Chicago police, the shooting occurred around 3:17 a.m. in the 600 block of East 133rd Street. A group was gathered outside when unknown assailants opened fire, striking four individuals.

The victims include:

A 21-year-old man, shot in the arm and thigh, transported to the University of Chicago Hospital in critical condition.
A 31-year-old man, suffering multiple gunshot wounds, taken to Christ Hospital in critical condition.

A 29-year-old woman, shot in the arm, who self-transported to Christ Hospital in stable condition.
A 29-year-old man, shot in the shoulder, who initially went to Roseland Hospital before being transferred to the University of Chicago Hospital in serious but stable condition.

No suspects have been identified, and Area Two detectives are investigating the circumstances surrounding the attack.

Community Reactions

The shooting has sparked outrage and frustration among residents, with many questioning the effectiveness of crime reduction efforts.

Suzanne Etsch commented, *”So in a 24-hour period, at least 22 people shot. Both were mass shootings. Can’t wait to see the total Monday morning.”*
Courtney Faull-Basile questioned the narrative on gun violence, asking, “Crime is down, mass shootings are up. Why aren’t we worried about the mass shooters’ mental health or access to guns this time?”

Others, like Ricky Moore, called for unity, saying, “We have to start fasting and pray so our people will stop all the hate towards one another.”

Broader Context of Chicago Violence

This incident follows a troubling trend of mass shootings in Chicago, despite official claims of declining crime rates. Just last month, a similar attack in another South Side neighborhood left multiple victims wounded.

Critics, including Lee Kirk, blamed political leadership, referring to the city as “Brandon’s Chicago,” a likely reference to Mayor Brandon Johnson. Meanwhile, Marc Sims noted that most violent crimes occur within interconnected networks rather than as random acts.

As investigations continue, Chicago residents brace for what could be another violent holiday weekend.
