It happened at about 7 p.m. on a quiet, residential stretch of North Rockwell Street near Mather High School on the North Side.

The boy who died was shot in the back. The others were shot in the shoulder and knee and were hospitalized. The SUV sped away.
Authorities said the shooting is under investigation, but no one has yet been taken into custody.
