CHICAGO — One person has been killed and five wounded in shootings since Monday, police said.
A 23-year-old man was found shot dead in a street in Austin by police late Monday, said Officer Jose Estrada, a Chicago Police spokesman.
In non-fatal shootings:
• Most recently, at 1:25 a.m. Tuesday, a 23-year-old man was shot in Edgewater, Estrada said. The man was sitting in a parked car with his girlfriend in the 5900 block of North Kenmore Avenue when he heard people arguing near his car. Several shots were fired and the man was hit in his arm and back, and his ear was grazed by a bullet.
The man was taken to Presence St. Francis Hospital, where he was in "stable" condition, Estrada said.
Officers do not know if the man was the intended target, police said, and he has no known gang affiliation.
