7-year-old Black girl shot dead in Chicago

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

A 7-year-old girl was killed and her father was seriously wounded in a shooting Sunday afternoon as they were getting food at a McDonald's drive-thru in the Homan Square neighborhood.

The father, Jontae Adams, 28, and his daughter, Jaslyn, were in a silver Infiniti about 4:20 p.m. at the McDonald's, 3200 W. Roosevelt Road, when they were shot, Chicago police said. A McDonald's employee, who asked not to be named, said two people got out of a gray car and started shooting at the victim's car.

Jontae Adams frantically called his mother, Lawanda McMullen, after the shooting.

"He said, 'Ma, come get me. They just shot my baby'", McMullen recalled.

The girl, who has three siblings, was shot repeatedly and was taken by police officers to Stroger Hospital, where she was pronounced dead, police said.

Her father was shot in the torso and also taken to Stroger, where his condition was listed as serious, police said.

Police said the shooting was believed to be gang-related, and less than three hours later, two people were shot in their car at a Popeyes in Humboldt Park, which investigators believe is connected to the McDonald's shooting.
