CHICAGO — Six people have been killed and at least 13 others wounded in shootings or stabbings across the city since Friday night, police said.
In Humboldt Park, a 22-year-old man was found lying in the sidewalk outside his family's home in the 1100 block of North Lawndale Avenue about 11:45 p.m. Friday, said Officer Amina Greer, a police spokeswoman.
The man, whom the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office identified as Tevin Kirkman, had a gunshot wound in the back of his head. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 12:20 a.m. Saturday. According to police, Kirkman had known gang affiliations.
Just before 2 a.m. Saturday, Gregory Dion, 29, was killed in his home in the 1400 block of East 52nd Street, authorities said.
Dion allegedly buzzed two men into his Hyde Park apartment building and left his front door open for them, Greer said. The men began shooting once they reached the apartment, striking Dion in the chest and back. He was pronounced dead at 1:48 a.m., and police believe he had gang affiliations.
