GREATER GRAND CROSSING — A man is dead and another is hurt after a shooting in Greater Grand Crossing Saturday night, police said.

At about 10:15 p.m., two 21-year-old men were standing on the sidewalk on the 1100 block of East 73rd Street when a man jumped out of a black sedan nearby and shot at them, according to Officer Jose Estrada, a Chicago Police spokesman.

Both men were brought to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where one of them was pronounced dead after being shot multiple times in the chest, Estrada said. The other was shot in his left leg and his condition is unknown, Estrada said.

Joshua Moore, of the 6400 block of South Ellis Avenue in Woodlawn, died at 11:22 p.m., according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.

Moore's family told NBC5 he was on his way home after hanging with friends when he was shot.

"My nephew was a good kid. He was not a stereotype," said his aunt Belinda Moore adding he was a mentor to the neighborhood kids. "He was a good kid."

As a teen, he attended Gary Comer College Prep and Hyde Park Academy, which he graduated from. He currently worked for a towing company and had recently got his own apartment, NBC5 reported.
