CHICAGO – A 7-year-old girl was killed and her father was seriously injured in a shooting Sunday at a McDonald’s in Chicago.
Jontae Adams and her daughter, Jaslyn, were in a car Sunday afternoon in a McDonald’s parking lot in the Homan Square neighborhood when they were shot, Chicago police said.
A McDonald’s employee who asked not to be named told the Chicago Sun-Times that two people got out of a gray car in the car and started firing at Adams’ car.
The girl, who has three siblings, was repeatedly shot and taken to a hospital where she was pronounced dead. His father was shot in the torso and taken to the same hospital, where his condition was considered serious, police said.

Jaslyn’s aunt, Tawny McMullen, said her niece was “beautiful” and “a very sweet child.” He added that his daughter and Jaslyn were best friends.
Jaslyn’s grandmother, Lawanda McMullen, told the Sun-Times that Jaslyn loved to dance and make TikTok videos.
