What’s Confirmed

• People.com reported that on August 14, 2025, in the South Austin neighborhood on West Madison Street, a man named Kevin Watson was fatally shot while livestreaming on Facebook.

What Remains Unverified

• There are no reliable reports—from major news outlets like the Sun-Times, ABC7, NBC, CBS, or others—that mention:

  • A fatal shooting at an intersection involving Laverne & Adams, or

  • Specific details matching your description (“multiple times” at that location) from this past Sunday.

• A past incident documented by Chicago Sun-Times on March 18, 2025, describes a shooting in the 2500 block of West Adams Street on the Near West Side. However, this was a weekend before—and not near Madison or involving “Laverne.”([turn1search3])

If you have additional details—like the exact date (e.g., “this past Sunday” could refer to August 17 or 18), neighborhood name, or reference to a news organization—I can do a more targeted search. Let me know if you’d like me to check other local sources or dive deeper using any extra details you have.
