A 7-year-old girl died and her father was wounded after they were shot at a McDonald’s drive-thru in Chicago on Sunday, a report said.

The child, identified by police as Jaslyn, and her 28-year-old dad, Jontae Adams, were in a car outside the fast food restaurant in the city’s Homan Square neighborhood when two gunmen opened fire on them, the Chicago Sun-Times reported, citing police and a worker.

Jaslyn was struck several times in the shooting at about 4:20 p.m. She was taken to Stroger Hospital, but could not be saved, the newspaper reported.

Her father was hit in the torso and hospitalized in stable condition.

A McDonald’s worker told the publication that two people exited a gray car and began shooting at Adams’ vehicle.

No arrests have been made. Police believe the violence may be gang-related, the report said.

Adams’ mother, Lawanda McMullen, told the Sun-Times that her son called her after the gunfire.

“He said, ‘Ma, come get me. They just shot my baby,’” McMullen said.
