Urban Prep Student, 19, Dies After West Side Shooting

(CBS) – An Urban Prep Academy student has died after being shot earlier this week.

On Friday, friends and classmates remembered 19-year-old Yuri Hardy.

Yuri’s sister tells CBS 2 he was an honor student at Urban Prep and expected to graduate in June.

Friends say he loved designing clothes and competing in dance competitions. That’s what he was doing just before 8 p.m. Wednesday near Central and Harrison in the South Austin neighborhood.

Chicago police say a man approached Yuri, then fired shots, hitting him in the leg.

Yuri died early Thursday at Mount Sinai Hospital.

Police continue to investigate.
