Kaylyn Pryor
The young Chicago woman, 20-year-old Kaylyn Pryor, was shot dead on Monday, just weeks after being crowned winner of a renowned modeling contest and only blocks from where a 9-year-old boy was gunned down hours earlier.
NBC Chicago reports that Pryor who is the winner of Mario Tricoci’s 2015 "Mario, Make Me a Model" competition, was standing outside with a 15-year-old boy in the 7300 block of South May Street around 6:20 p.m. Monday, November 2, in the city’s Auburn Gresham neighborhood when a vehicle pulled up and opened fire.
Pryor won the esteemed modeling competition over a month ago in front of 1,000 fans during a fashion show at the Redmoon Warehouse in Chicago.

Both 20-year-old Pryor and the boy were shot, police said, and the car drove off. The two were rushed to Advocate Christ Medical Center, where the teen survived and is in critical condition, police said. Pryor was pronounced dead.
Police said Pryor’s fatal gunshot wound was a hit to the right armpit, while the teen was struck in the scrotum. Pryor’s father revealed that his daughter was leaving her grandparents’ house in the neighborhood and walking to the bus stop to travel back to their Evanston home to sign a modeling contract at the time of the shooting.
He said the teen she was with was not a close friend and just a boy from the neighborhood.
The police are already investigating the tragedy.
