ABC 7/Chicago Sun-Times reported the weekend’s first fatal shooting occurred Saturday night shortly before 11 p.m. when 37-year-old Travis Willis was shot "during a fight." The shooting occurred in West Pullman. Willis was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

The Sun-Times noted a 21-year-old man was killed while riding in a vehicle around 11:15 p.m. Saturday night. The 21-year-old was shot multiple times in the head and taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
He's dead, Jim!
A 27-year-old was shot and fatally injured just before midnight Saturday. He was standing "in the 5600 block of South Morgan Street" when shots rang out. He was transported to a hospital and pronounced dead.

A 34-year-old year-old man was shot and killed around 2 p.m. Sunday while standing "in the 800 block of North Ridgeway Avenue." He was talking to another man when a third individual approached on foot and opened fire.

The most recent fatal attack was the shooting death of a 17-year-old boy mid-afternoon Sunday. The boy was driving in West Garfield Park when someone fired shots, striking him in the face. The teenager succumbed to his wounds.

Breitbart News pointed out that 24 people were shot, three fatally, last weekend in Mayor Lightfoot’s Chicago.

Wiki - Endemic warfare is a state of continual or frequent warfare, such as is found in some tribal societies (but is not limited to tribal societies).

Ritual fighting (or ritual battle or ritual warfare) permits the display of courage, masculinity and the expression of emotion while resulting in relatively few wounds and even fewer deaths. Thus such a practice can be viewed as a form of conflict-resolution and/or as a psycho-social exercise. Native Americans often engaged in this activity, but the frequency of warfare in most hunter-gatherer cultures is a matter of dispute.[1]

Warfare is known to several tribal societies, but some societies develop a particular emphasis of warrior culture (such as the Nuer of South Sudan,[2] the Māori of New Zealand, the Dugum Dani of Papua,[2] the Yanomami (dubbed "the Fierce People") of the Amazon. [2] The culture of inter-tribal warfare has long been present in New Guinea.[3]

Communal societies are well capable of escalation to all-out wars of annihilation between tribes. Thus, in Amazonas, there was perpetual animosity between the neighboring tribes of the Jívaro. A fundamental difference between wars enacted within the same tribe and against neighboring tribes is such that "wars between different tribes are in principle wars of extermination".[4]
