A 17-year-old student from Tilden High School was shot and killed Tuesday morning in the Back of the Yards neighborhood while reportedly heading to school. Two other men, ages 55 and 61, were also injured during the shooting.

Family members identified the teen as Pedro Ramirez, describing him as a dedicated student athlete involved in soccer and volleyball. Loved ones said he stayed focused on school and rarely missed class.

Police said the shooting happened around 7:40 a.m. in the 5000 block of South Throop after multiple armed suspects allegedly got out of a dark SUV and opened fire. Investigators recovered dozens of shell casings from the scene.

The two older victims managed to drive away before stopping near 50th & Ashland to get help. Both were transported to the hospital in critical condition.

Authorities later recovered a black Jeep and a rifle following a police chase. A person of interest is currently being questioned as detectives continue investigating what led up to the shooting.
