''CHICAGO (WLS) -- Badly bruised, cut and sprained, Carlee J. McKinney is hobbling along in a fog of grief. He woke up Sunday morning in Stroger Hospital only to find out he was the only survivor of a hit-and-run outside South Shore gay bar Jeffrey Pub.
"Three passed and I'm the only one that walked away able to live another day," he said.
He doesn't remember the impact.''
Early Sunday morning, McKinney and his two best friends were leaving Jeffrey Pub.
"All I remember is I was trying to get my close family friend, I call him my cousin, I was trying to get him from fighting another male," McKinney said.

"By the time we got halfway in the street, this car came from the street and I seen it through the periphery, seen the bright light," McKinney said. "That's what made me jump back. Next thing I know I was hit and woke up in the ambulance."

''SOUTH LOOP — Devonta Vivetter was bright and boisterous, his loved ones said at a Monday memorial for the man, who was one of three people killed in a hit-and-run this weekend.
The 27-year-old was a party-loving, always-dancing socialite who could be seen in Chicago’s clubs and bars just about every week. He was alternately a jokester who “played too much” and someone “who did not play” about the safety of those he cared for, his loved ones said.
Vivetter, or “Rack” and “Rayhunna” to those who knew him, was killed in a Sunday morning hit-and-run outside Jeffery Pub, 7041 S. Jeffery Blvd.''
''Vivetter’s death “brought the city out” Monday night as they honored him with a balloon launch. Each of the 400 or so attendees at Park No. 540 near 24th Street and Dearborn Avenue found a different way to cope.
Some blasted high-energy music and danced to honor Vivetter — “that’s what makes him happy, partying with his family and friends,” said his cousin, Jasmine.''
