Antoinette Ursitti. The boy was rushed to Advocate Christ Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, she said. The victim, Adrian Carranza, 2, of an unspecified address on South Richmond Street, was pronounced dead at 6:15 p.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner's office. The accident was not a hit-and-run, she said. The motorist -- Stephanie Sherman-Ratliff, 40, of the 7200 block of South Richmond Street -- was cited tonight with one count of failure to exercise due caution with a pedestrian in the roadway, Ursitti said. Family and friends standing outside the child's home Saturday night declined to comment. Crying and wailing could be heard from inside the house and small children played outside. --Heywood Hoffman
