Four people were killed and 14 others wounded in a mass shooting Wednesday night in Chicago, police said.

The carnage erupted in the River North neighborhood, on the 300 block of West Chicago Avenue, when a vehicle pulled up to a location and at least one gunman opened fire on a crowd standing outside, Chicago police said.

The vehicle fled the scene immediately and no one has been taken into custody, police said.

    One of the crime scene cleanup photos shows a prominent pride flag in the window of the establishment, and the venue’s website says “Proudly Black-, Brown-, Queer-, and Women-owned.”

    Could that have been the motivation for the attack?

      Nah it was rap beef. Allegedly the people killed were the boyfriend and friends of Mello Buckzz. Mello Buckzz album release party was being held at Artis. I’m assuming the others were collateral damage
