About five minutes earlier, a 14-year-old boy was shot in the head and killed just north of the Delmar Loop.
Police said they were called to Etzel Avenue near the intersection of North Skinker Parkway at around 5:25. When they arrived, they found the victim shot in the back of the head.
Little information was available on scene, a situation that frustrated Lisa LaGrone.
"Where is Chief Hayden at? Where is Mayor Krewson at?," she asked, arms wide motioning to the empty space in front of her. "This community needs some help. These kids need a voice. When you live in hopelessness, it's all you get. Look around. Look around. This is hopeless."
Early Tuesday morning police confirmed to 5 On Your Side that the victim was a 14-year-old boy.
Police do not have a victim or a motive in either shooting.
