“You can run but you can’t hide. We are going to bring you to justice for this crime. The Adams family deserves nothing less,” Brown said as a warning to others who may be involved in the incident.
The shooting sent shockwaves throughout the city after the ongoing pandemic presented a pause in shootings and other crimes.
At the time of the shooting, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said in a tweet that she was “heartbroken and angered.” She also called it “unthinkable act of violence” that “has no place here.”
Meanwhile, Jaslyn’s family mourned the loss of a life cut short before it began.
