Kanesha Gaines, 21, was killed and eight other women were
wounded when someone opened fire in the city's North Lawndale neighborhood early Sunday morning. Kanesha was a funny everything. She was outgoing. She was the queen of the world," Graham said. The shooting happened in the 1500 block of South Keeler Avenue just before 1 a.m. Police said as Gaines and a
group of women, gathered there for a luau party, enjoyed the Hawaiian-themed birthday celebration, a black Jeep approached. Without warning, multiple unknown suspects, armed with guns, got out and started shooting at the women. The victims were all shot and wounded and range in age from 20 to 33 years old. Gaines was shot in the face and later died. A 28-year-old woman who was struck eight times remains hospitalized in critical condition. Relatives said Gaines was a home healthcare worker and part-time stylist. She leaves behind a 3-year-old son and a 2-year-old daughter.
