CHICAGO — A man was killed and three men were wounded in citywide shootings since the night of Christmas Eve, police said.

A man was killed in West Englewood in the 1200 block of West 73rd Place, authorities said.

A 40-year-old man was found in the doorway of a home shot multiple times about 2:15 a.m. Wednesday, police said.

The man, identified as Eric Hunt, was taken in critical condition to Stroger Hospital and pronounced dead at 8:32 a.m., according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office. Hunt was of the 4300 block of South Calumet Avenue, according to the morgue.

In earlier shootings:

• Two brothers-in-law got in an argument that resulted in one of them getting shot in his shoulder about 11:30 p.m. in the 1300 block of South Throop Street in University Village, Greer said.

The gunshot victim, 50, was taken to Stroger in "stable" condition. The other man, a 36-year-old who produced a handgun during the argument, had a laceration to his head and was also sent to Stroger.

• In Auburn Gresham, a 41-year-old man was shot in the left side of his chest about 10:10 p.m. in the 8400 block of South Paulina Street, Greer said.

Someone drove him to Little Company of Mary Hospital, but he was transferred to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in critical condition.

• In Greater Grand Crossing, a 21-year-old man was shot multiple times in his body while he was in a store in the 7500 block of South King Drive about 8:30 p.m., Greer said.

He was shot when someone opened the door and fired in his direction. The victim is in "stable" condition at Christ.
