It happened just before 5 p.m. Friday near North Pulaski Road and West Maypole Avenue.
Witnesses told police that four people were standing near a sidewalk when a car pulled up and at least two armed people opened fire on the group, killing a 32-year-old woman, a 36-year-old man and a 27-year-old man.
The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office has identified the woman as Rickia Williams, of Chicago. The two other victims were later identified as Kenneth M. Bell Jr., 27, and Lavell Lee, 36.
A fourth victim, a 35-year-old man, was rushed to the hospital, initially reported to be in critical condition.
Witnesses say the shooting happened near an alley behind a number of businesses and homes on the block.
"Just pray, because it don't need to be violence out here," Christian Temple Church minister William Harris said. "Just pray more."
Cook County Crime Stoppers is also now stepping up to offer up to $10,000 for any information that leads to an arrest.
"I'm sure they have family members that love them, so what we're trying to do is bring some closure bring some justice to the families and offer up to 10k cash reward," said Paul Rutherford, Cook County Crime Stoppers executive director.
There are a number of surveillance cameras here near the area, which Cook County Crime Stoppers and CPD investigators are hoping will produce some evidence as they urge the public to come forward with information.
"We've been in that area many times, and we know people are reluctant to talk to police and provide information, which is very disturbing," Rutherford said.
Rutherford says those who submit any information to Cook County Crime Stoppers will remain completely anonymous.
Chicago police say no is in custody as the investigation continues.
