A 16-year-old girl and four other people were killed and at least 20 others wounded Saturday afternoon into Sunday morning across the city, from the Near North Side west to the Austin neighborhood and as far south as 107th Street.

From Friday evening into Saturday morning, 10 people had been shot, one of them fatally.

The girl was shot three times in the West Englewood nighborhood Saturday evening. The other three who died in overnight violence included one of three people shot on the street in Cragin, a woman shot in a van in Chatham and a man shot while sitting in a car in North Austin.

The girl was identified as 16-year-old Shakaki Ashby, of the 4200 block of South Vincennes Avenue, by the Cook County medical examiner's office.

The girl had no gang affiliations and no arrest history, according to police. She and a 21-year-old man were shot about 7 p.m. Saturday in the 2000 block of West 70th Place in the West Englewood neighborhood on the South Side, police said.

The girl was taken in serious-to-critical condition to Advocate Christ Medical Center, where she died at 3:47 a.m. Sunday morning.

The man, who police said was a gang member, was shot in the left leg and also taken to Christ, where his condition was stabilized, according to the Chicago Fire Department and police.

The other shootings across the city overnight included:

• Three people were shot about 12:35 a.m. Sunday in the 2400 block of North Laramie Avenue in the Cragin neighborhood on the Northwest Side, Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer Amina Greer said.

Jaime Ocampo, 32, of the 3100 block of North Natchez Avenue, was pronounced dead at the scene. A woman, 43, was shot in the foot and a man, 46, in the leg, police said. The woman was taken to West Suburban Hospital and the man to Mount Sinai Hospital.

• Daniel Dilce, 35, died at Stroger Hospital after he was about 12:30 a.m. in the 1300 block of North Lorel Avenue in the North Austin neighborhood on the West Side, authorities said. Dilce was sitting in a car across from his home when someone walked up and started shooting, authorities said. He was pronounced dead at Stroger about 2:15 a.m.

• Tiffany Edwards, 25, died after being shot about 1:30 a.m. Sunday in the 7600 block of South State Street in the Chatham neighborhood on the South Side, authorities said.

Edwards was in a van when someone approached and started shooting, police said. The van's driver took her to St. Bernard Hospital and Health Care Center, where she was pronounced dead. Edwards had lived in the 8600 block of South Martin Luther King Drive.

• Two men were shot at about 10:39 a.m. Sunday in the 1400 block of South Kolin Avenue in the Lawndale neighborhood on the West Side. One of the men was shot in the hand and the other man was shot in the leg, police said. Both were taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in good condition.

• A man was shot in a possible robbery attempt about 6 a.m. Sunday in the 2000 block of East 93rd Street in the Pill Hill neighborhood on the Southeast Side. He was struck in the knee while standing on his porch, police said.

• About 4:30 a.m. Sunday, a man was shot in the leg in the 2100 block of West 18th Street in the Heart of Chicago neighborhood on the Near Southwest Side, police said. He was in good condition at Mount Sinai Hospital. Details about that shooting weren't immediately available.

Two other men, 27 and 29, walked up to the same hospital with gunshot wounds.

The younger man was shot in the arm and the older shot in the ankle. Police said the two would not cooperate with police. All three told police they "heard shots and felt pain." [N.S.: This has apparently become a gang-banger mantra.]

• A man in his 20s was found shot in the 6000 block of West Wabansia Avenue in the Galewood neighborhood on the Northwest Side about 11 p.m. Saturday, police said. He was shot near the intersection of Menard Avenue and North Avenue, and police believe he walked to the place where he was found.

Police said the incident was gang-related and that the victim had been beaten by a flagpole with a Puerto Rican flag on it and had started to leave the area when he was shot.

• A 25-year-old man who was shot between 9 p.m. and 9:20 p.m. on the 200 block of South Homan Avenue. The man told police an "unknown" person picked him up off the street and drove him to Mount Sinai Hospital in good condition, police said.

The man said he heard shots and felt pain in his hand and leg, police said. After saying an "unknown" person dropped him off, he stopped cooperating, police said.

• A 21-year-old man was shot about 9:20 p.m. in the 7100 block of South Yates Avenue in the South Shore neighborhood on the South Side, police said. He was taken to Jackson Park Hospital but transferred to Stroger hospital. He had been shot at least four times, authorities said.

• Shortly before 9 p.m. Saturday in the 9800 block of South Merrion Avenue in the Jeffery Manor neighborhood on the Southeast Side, an 18-year-old man was shot in the back and a 20-year-old man in the right shoulder, Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Darryl Baety said.

The 18-year-old was taken in serious-to-critical condition to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where his condition was stabilized, police said. The other man was taken to Advocate Trinity Hospital, but his condition was not available.

• A 21-year-old man was shot in the jaw about 7:30 p.m. Saturday in the 5200 block of South Damen Avenue in the Back of the Yards neighborhood on the South Side and was taken to Stroger hospital. His condition wasn't available but he was expected to survive, officials said.

• A 36-year-old man was shot in the leg while standing on the sidewalk about 5 p.m. Saturday a few blocks south in the 5400 block of Damen, police said. His condition was stabilized at Mount Sinai Hospital.

Police said that two assailants had thrown a brick through a window before starting to shoot. He later died.

• A man sitting on his porch was shot about 5:30 p.m. Saturday in the 2600 block of West Crystal Street in the Humboldt Park neighborhood. He was treated for a gunshot wound to the leg at Stroger hospital, police said. Someone approached him and the two exchanged words before he was shot, police said.
