The Cook County Medical Examiner's office has identified a 17-year-old girl who died after a shooting on a Chicago Transit Authority bus.
The medical examiner's office says Kiyanna Salters was pronounced dead late Sunday night at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
Chicago police spokesman John Henry says the shooting happened around 10 p.m. Sunday near East 71st St. and Cottage Grove Avenue on the city's South Side. Initial police reports say a male on the bus quarreled with someone else on the bus, got off, and then fired a shot back into the bus before fleeing on foot. It was not immediately known if the girl was the intended target.
