In Kansas City, three fatalities occurred, including one incident at 54th and Michigan that resulted in the deaths of an adult male and an adult female.

In Chicago, the holiday weekend saw between five and eight fatalities and dozens of injuries. Reported deaths occurred in neighborhoods including Chicago Lawn, West Englewood, Austin, and Woodlawn.
