ENGLEWOOD — One man was killed and four men were wounded in shootings overnight Wednesday on the city's South Side, authorities said.

Police said two men were standing on a corner in the 6700 block of South Sangamon Street in Englewood about 10:12 p.m. when a gunman approached them and opened fire.

Ronald Henry, 22, of the 500 block of West 61st Street, was shot repeatedly and pronounced dead on the scene at 10:34 p.m., according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office.

His companion,  a 24-year-old man, suffered a graze wound on the leg and was taken to St. Bernard Hospital in good condition, said Officer Jose Estrada, a Chicago Police Department spokesman.

Police said no one was in custody for the shootings as of early Thursday morning.

In West Englewood, a man was taken to a hospital in serious condition after he was shot about 8:55 p.m. in the 6500 block of South Hoyne Avenue.

The 22-year-old man was shot in his arm and chest and was taken to Stroger Hospital, said Officer Michael Sullivan, a Police Department spokesman.

Police did not immediately provide details about the shooting.

Hours earlier, an 18-year-old man was shot in Chicago Lawn.

About 5:35 p.m., the teen was shot in his buttocks in the 2400 block of West 70th Street, Sullivan said. He was taken to Holy Cross Hospital in good condition.

About 5:05 p.m., another man was wounded in a shooting in Chicago Lawn.

The 26-year-old was sitting in a vehicle in the 2800 block of West 64th Street when a gunman rode up on a bicycle and opened fire, Sullivan said.

The man was shot in his abdomen and was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where his condition later stabilized.
