**original release**
Officers were dispatched to the 1300 block of S. Avondale on a shooting. Multiple callers reported shots fired in the area. Officers learned there had been an after party after the bars closed. Most of the people had left by the time officers arrived on scene. The crowd at the party grew. When the residents and friends tried to get the uninvited guests to leave, an altercation occurred inside the home. The fight spilled outside the home and shots were fired.  A short time later, two gunshot victims arrived at an area hospital. Felita Bailey, female, age 25, died because of her injuries at the hospital. The second victim had serious injuries and was being treated. Ms. Bailey’s family has been notified.  The investigation is still ongoing.  A public video portal has been set up for anyone who might have video evidence from the incident.
