25 year old Aaren O'Connor was hit a stray
bullet and died in a Chicago hospital two days
later. She had just returned home from work
that evening and was sitting in her car outside
of her apartment, talking to her father on the
phone. There was a fight outside of the car that
she had nothing to do with, and shots were
fired. One of the bullets hit her in the back of
the head which led to her death.
Her dad Mr O'Connor, said during the
conversation she started repeatedly saying 'my
head hurts' and quickly became incoherent, but
neither of them knew what was wrong. he said
At that point she hadn't realized she had been
shot in the head, and neither did he:
"I didn't realize that I was having the last
conversation with my daughter. Every
few moments she said my head hurts."
"When she hung up the phone, I called
her boyfriend a worried , he then got in
touch with her roommate who found her
unconscious outside''.
"I would have loved to have told her that
I loved her just one more time and was
proud of her, she was an amazing girl".
Aaren's father also had a message for the
leaders and people of Chicago who he says
need to address gun violence in the city, which
is spiralling out of control. A GoFundMe page
has been set up by her coworkers in her
memory
