A man was killed and two others were injured in a shooting in the city’s North Lawndale neighborhood, authorities said.
The victims, two men, aged 23 and 29, and a 35-year-old woman, were walking on the sidewalk in the 3400 block of West Ogden Avenue just after 5:15 p.m. when a car pulled alongside them, according to Chicago police.
Two gunmen got out of the vehicle and opened fire before fleeing westbound on Ogden.
All three pedestrians were shot and were transported by ambulance to local area hospitals. The 29-year-old was brought to Stroger Hospital with a gunshot wound to the chest, where he was pronounced dead, according to police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office. The victim’s identity wasn’t immediately released, but an autopsy was scheduled for Sunday.
The 23-year-old man was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition with a gunshot wound in his stomach, police said. The woman was listed in good condition with a gunshot wound to her leg.
No arrests have been made as an investigation by Harrison Area detectives got underway.
