CHICAGO — One man is dead and at least four others were wounded in shootings citywide since Saturday afternoon.

The shootings took place in Ravenswood Manor, North Lawndale, Woodlawn, Englewood and Auburn Gresham.

In Englewood, a 19-year-old man heard shots and felt a bullet go through his back about 7:02 p.m. in the 7000 block of South Morgan Street, said Officer John Mirabelli, a police spokesman.

The teenager was sent to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in critical condition, where he died at 2:05 a.m. Sunday morning, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office.

The man was identified as Marcus Rush, of the 2600 block of South King Drive in Bronzeville.

In nonfatal shootings:

• At 3:45 Sunday afternoon, a 24-year-old man was shot in his right thigh in the 600 block of East 67th Street, police said. He was taken in good condition to Stroger Hospital.

• A man in his 40s was shot in his shoulder about 4:50 a.m. Sunday in the 8000 block of South Loomis Boulevard in Auburn Gresham, Mirabelli said. The victim was sent to Christ.

Police are questioning a person of interest, but it's uncertain if that person is a suspect or a witness.

• In what police are calling a gang-related incident, a 34-year-old man was shot in his lower right leg while walking on a sidewalk in the 4700 block of North Sacramento Avenue in Ravenswood Manor shortly after 10 p.m. Saturday.

Four men walked up to the victim, who was hospitalized at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in Lakeview in "stable" condition, according to Mirabelli.

No one is in custody.

• An afternoon sidewalk argument in North Lawndale ended with a 39-year-old man being shot in his back, said Officer Jose Estrada, a police spokesman. After wounding the man with a handgun at 3 p.m., the shooter fled from the scene in the 1600 block of South Karlov Avenue. The victim was sent to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he's in good condition.

Seven people were shot overnight Friday.
