Video After The Jump
CHICAGO (CBS) – A 21-year-old woman is dead after being shot while trying rob people inside a car in the Monday afternoon.
Chicago police said the woman entered the vehicle around 1 p.m., in a robbery attempt. She was inside of a car when she was shot in the shoulder, back & hand.
The woman was then thrown into the intersection. People then came to help her before police arrived.
The woman was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.
Family & close friends identified the victim as 21-year-old Genesis Escobar.
"My heart is broken in pieces," said Iris Alvarez. "She was also seven months pregnant with a baby girl."
Iris Alvarez said Escobar came to visit Alvarez's daughter around 1 p.m.
She texted my daughter & told my daughter: 'Please help me! I'm in trouble!'" Alvarez said. "But my daughter was sleeping."
Alvarez & her daughter were awoken by 4 gunshots. When they checked to see what was going on, they were stunned.
"They looked out the window & seen that the vehicle - someone opened the driver door, walked around the vehicle, pulled the body out & drove off," Alvarez said.
But before dumping the woman on the ground, witnesses said the driver pulled out cash.
"They threw a bunch of money on top of her," Alvarez said.
Alvarez was asked what she thought the cash that was dropped on Escobar's body represented.
"I don't know if she was into some kind of trouble," Alvarez said.
"I don't care how much trouble you're in," Alvarez said. "I feel that for a person to do that to someone, doesn't have a heart."
No suspects are in custody. Area Five detectives are investigating.
