CHICAGO — A 25-year-old man was killed in the city's Englewood neighborhood Monday evening, police said.

About 6:53 p.m., a 25-year-old man was in the 7100 block of South Green Street when a gunman inside a passing white-colored vehicle opened fire, said Officer Veejay Zala, a police spokesman.

The vehicle then fled northbound on South Green Street.
