Police stated that a 33-year-old man who was also injured in the same shooting was taken to Stroger Hospital and was said to be in serious condition with a gunshot to the abdomen. The Chicago Tribune wrote that:

Police said two shooters opened fire just south of 56th Street on Elizabeth Avenue around 9:45 p.m. Wednesday, leaving more than two-dozen shell casings in the street.

The news source further described the crime scene saying:

Police had a hard time keeping track of the shell casings at the scene. Ripped up index cards served as evidence markers until police were able to get plastic ones to the scene. But when the plastic markers were set next to the casings, they scraped across the pavement in the wind … Hess was found south of a newer model dark red Cadillac Escalade. Four vacant lots bordered the crime scene.
