Four people were found fatally shot inside or near a restaurant in a brazen attack in South Shore on Thursday afternoon, according to Chicago police. The incident happened roughly nine blocks east from where a pregnant woman was found fatally shot in an apartment, some four hours prior.

Officers arrived to a call in the 2700 block of East 75th Street at around 3:51 p.m. on Thursday afternoon, police said. A man had come up to a restaurant, identified in news reports as Nadia Fish & Chicken, and fired shots. Two men were found shot inside the restaurant; one man was discovered struck and unresponsive outside the building; and officers found a fourth victim in the 7500 block of South Coles Street, police said. All four men were pronounced dead on the scene.

Three victims were identified by the medical examiner's office as Raheem Jackson, 19, Dillon Jackson, 20, and Emmanuel Stokes, 28. The name of the fourth victim was not released because next of kin had not yet been notified.

Chief police spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said authorities were "making good progress" and the mass shooting was believed to be retaliation.

Earlier in the afternoon, at around noon, a 26-year-old pregnant woman, Patrice L. Calvin, was found fatally shot in the head inside an apartment in the 7500 block of South Luella Avenue, according to police and the medical examiner's office.
