A Chicago teenager, Vicky Murillo, was left blind in one eye after being targeted by a group of miscreants in a random Halloween paintball attack. The incident occurred as Vicky and her friend were followed by a car in the Clearing West community before being shot at with paintballs from the moving vehicle. The teenagers were severely injured and left bleeding on the ground before being rushed to the hospital for treatment.
Vicky was admitted to the emergency room where it was determined that one of the paintball shots had ruptured her eye globe. Despite undergoing emergency surgery, doctors were skeptical about the possibility of her regaining vision in the affected eye. Vicky has several surgeries scheduled for her injuries, with the family remaining hopeful but cautious about the potential outcomes. The senseless crime has left her older brother, Adrean, frustrated as other neighbors came forward with similar incidents of being targeted by paintballs.
The random shooting in the Clearing West community, as well as similar incidents reported around the city on the same night, have raised concerns about a pattern of malicious intent behind the attacks. Videos shared online captured the armed individuals terrorizing various neighborhoods in Chicago, with one person leaning out the window of a car and firing multiple paintball rounds at unsuspecting victims. Adrean believes there was a deliberate plan behind the attacks given the mounting evidence and similar descriptions of the car involved.
Adrean has been working with detectives to track down the shooter responsible for blinding his sister in the hope of bringing heavy charges against the suspect. The family wants to see justice served and believes that a serious punishment is necessary to deter similar acts of violence in the future. Adrean expressed his frustration with the situation, emphasizing the seriousness of the crime and the impact it has had on his sister’s life. The family is hopeful for Vicky’s recovery and remains committed to seeking justice for the traumatic incident.
The community in Clearing West has been shaken by the random paintball attack, with residents expressing shock and concern over the senseless violence. Adrean described the incident as “crazy” and questioned why anyone would target young women in such a manner. The neighborhood has come together to support Vicky and her family during this difficult time, with many expressing solidarity and a desire for justice to be served. The incident has highlighted the need for increased awareness and vigilance in the community to prevent similar acts of violence from occurring in the future.
