Authorities said that at least 23 individuals were shot, one of whom died, early on Sunday during a Juneteenth celebration that attracted hundreds of people to a suburban Chicago parking lot.

A strip mall lot in Willowbrook, roughly 20 miles (32.1 km) southwest of Chicago, was strewn with debris and police tape, as shown on TV news footage.
