Two people were fatally shot inside a residence in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood Thursday night, September 24, 2026, with 27-year-old DeAngelo Johnson identified as one of the victims.
Chicago police said officers responded to a home in the 800 block of North Parkside Avenue at approximately 10:43 p.m. after a witness reported hearing gunshots coming from the basement.
A 47-year-old woman and Johnson, 27, were found suffering from gunshot wounds. Both victims were taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
What Happened on North Parkside Avenue?
The fatal shooting unfolded late Thursday night inside a residence in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood.
Police said a witness heard gunfire coming from the basement and called 911. Officers subsequently arrived at the home and found two people who had been shot.
The victims were transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, but neither survived their injuries.
Chicago police have described the shooter as a known suspect, indicating that the victims and the person accused of shooting them were known to one another.
DeAngelo Johnson Identified as Victim
One of the victims was identified as 27-year-old DeAngelo Johnson of Chicago.
ABC7 reported that Johnson lived on the same block where the shooting occurred. Police-based reporting has not yet provided extensive additional biographical information about him.
The other victim was a 47-year-old woman. Her name has not been independently identified in the police-based reports reviewed for this article.
The supplied information identifies the woman as Angela Johnson, but that identification has not been independently confirmed by the current Chicago police reporting reviewed.
Known Suspect Taken Into Custody
Police said a known suspect was taken into custody following the shooting.
The Chicago Sun-Times reported that the suspect allegedly opened fire on a man and woman he knew. Two firearms were reportedly recovered at the scene, according to police information cited by the newspaper.
However, charges were still pending in the latest reports.
Authorities have not publicly established a final motive for the shooting.
Because the investigation is ongoing, the circumstances surrounding the relationship between the victims and suspect should not be treated as a final explanation of what led to the gunfire.
Investigation Continues in Austin
Chicago Police Department Area 4 detectives are investigating the double fatal shooting.
Investigators are working to establish what happened inside the residence before the gunfire and what led to the confrontation.
Police have confirmed that two people died, that a known suspect was taken into custody and that charges remained pending.
Additional details may emerge as detectives continue their investigation and prosecutors determine whether criminal charges will be filed.
Remembering DeAngelo Johnson
DeAngelo Johnson was 27 years old and lived in Chicago.
His death has left relatives, friends and others who knew him mourning following the sudden violence inside a residential property in the Austin neighborhood.
Public reports available so far have focused primarily on the shooting investigation and have not provided extensive information about Johnson’s occupation, education, interests or personal life.
Additional information could be released through a family obituary or funeral-home announcement.
Information About the Second Victim
The second victim was a 47-year-old woman who was also shot inside the residence.
The information supplied for this article identifies her as Angela Johnson and describes her as the mother of DeAngelo Johnson. However, the current police-based reports reviewed do not independently confirm either her name or her relationship to Johnson.
Those details should therefore be regarded as reported information pending an official identification.
