Not a construct I generally see. It's possible they're reporting that 30 people were killed directly, and an additional eight died as a result of secondary causes related to the violence. Still a bit confusing.

The real trouble is that TV news isn't targeted at smart, logical people such as yourself. They're aiming for a demographic who don't question, only consume.

In Chicago, the violence is so bad there's dead and really dead! D-E-D, dead.
Thanks for this!

Did you see The Princess Bride? There is also the condition of 'mostly dead'.

I'm not sure what that is referring to (the context) but it does suggest what Rapid Cyclist said, otherwise it's likely just a mistake.
