At least four people were killed and 14 others wounded in a drive-by mass shooting outside a nightclub in Chicago’s River North neighborhood on Wednesday night, police said. 

Around 11 p.m., Chicago police said someone inside a dark vehicle drove past the Artis Lounge nightclub in the 300 block of West Chicago Avenue, fired shots into a crowd of people standing outside, and drove off. It appears the crowd was leaving the nightclub following an album release party for rapper Mello Buckzz.  

Chicago police confirmed four people were shot and killed. The four people who died include a 24-year-old man, a 25-year-old man, and two women. 

The victims injured in the shooting range in age from 21 to 32 years old. 

At least four people were listed in critical to serious condition at local hospitals.

The same block was also the scene of a mass shooting in November 2022, when the same nightclub was known as Hush Lounge. One person was killed and three others wounded after a group that had been thrown out of Hush started fighting.

Police shut down the Hush nightclub after that shooting, and Artis Lounge later opened in the same location.
