A 17-year-old boy died Friday from a gunshot wound he suffered in July when he accidentally shot himself in the face, according to authorities.
Rashawn Tucker, of the 1200 block of West 111th Place, was pronounced dead at Weiss Memorial Hospital early Friday morning.
He was handling a gun near his home on July 23 when it discharged and he was shot, Chicago Police News Affairs Officer John Mirabelli said. The shooting did not appear intentional, he said.
