A Chicago woman died Tuesday after being beaten and shot in the neck by a group of suspects following a minor traffic crash on Saturday night, according to reports.
Yasmin Perez’s boyfriend, Gyovanny Arzuaga, 24, was shot in the head, hip and thigh during the same ambush and was pronounced dead at a hospital, FOX 32 in Chicago reported.
No arrests have been made. A manhunt was underway for the suspects.
The couple had rear-ended a parked car near Humboldt Park around 9:15 p.m. local time after attending the city’s Puerto Rican Day parade on Saturday when the suspects got out of their car and attacked the couple, according to FOX 32.
A video shared on social media purportedly shows the victims either being pulled out or falling out of their car during the shooting.
“My heart is destroyed, that was my best friend, my brother,” Arzuaga’s brother told FOX 32 over the phone on Sunday night.
The couple had two children: Sofiya and Jaden. Jaden will be 1 year old on Friday, the station reported.

Pacheco said Perez, 25, was a “great mom.”
“She loved her kids so much,” she told the station. “You could tell they were so loved and they were so happy.”
