Tragic Shooting Leads to Fatal Crash in Back of the Yards Neighborhood

A devastating incident unfolded late Tuesday night in the Back of the Yards neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. The quiet streets of Garfield Boulevard were shattered by the sound of gunshots, followed by screeching tires and the sickening crunch of metal on metal.

Sitting in their Chevy Malibu, they were ambushed by a silver SUV that opened fire on their vehicle. The driver, identified as Cyra C. Magby, was struck in the upper back, causing her to lose control of the car.

The chaos that ensued led to a tragic outcome as the Malibu careened into a Volkswagen Jetta on Halsted Street. Magby was rushed to the hospital in critical condition but, sadly, succumbed to her injuries. Her passenger suffered facial lacerations but is thankfully in stable condition.

The occupants of the Jetta, a 43-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman, sustained minor injuries in the collision. They were also taken to the hospital for treatment but are reported to be in good condition.
