The gunman reportedly said something to Rim before shooting, but the victim, who had severe hearing loss, would not have been able to hear a thing, investigators said.
Rim was rushed to the nearest Mount Sinai Hospital, but was pronounced dead approximately four hours later. No other victims from the shooting have been reported.
Cook County officials are still investigating the homicide. They have not released any other information on the suspect.
