4 shot dead in gunfire at Chicago restaurant

Four men were killed in gunfire Thursday afternoon at a restaurant on Chicago's South Side.

About 3:30 p.m., a shooter walked into Nadia Fish and Chicken at the corner of 75th and Coles and opened fire, according to family members of the victims.

Emmanuel C. Stokes, 28, and Edwin Davis, 32, were fatally shot inside the restaurant, authorities said.

Two other men, Dillon and Raheam Jackson, ran from the restaurant as gunfire erupted, but both were fatally shot in different parking lots within a block of the restaurant.

All four were pronounced dead at the scene of the quadruple homicide, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.

Family members said Dillon, 20, and Raheam, 19, were the youngest of five children. They were grandsons of Georgia Jackson but not the first she has lost to gun violence.

In December 2011, her 16-year-old grandson Jawan Ross, a Robeson High School student, was one of two teen boys killed when someone fired into a crowd at a Church's Chicken in the 6600 block of South Halsted.
