CHICAGO — One man has been killed and two others wounded in shootings — inluding a 14-year-old boy — since Friday, police said.

At 1:19 p.m. Friday, a 36-year-old man was shot and killed while driving in Garfield Park, said Officer Jose Estrada, Chicago Police spokesman.

• In nonfatal shootings, most recently, at 1:30 a.m. Saturday, a 20-year-old man was shot in Austin, Estrada said. The man was walking on the sidewalk in the 1200 block of North Central Avenue when someone in a passing black SUV fired at him, hitting the man in his left buttock.

A family member took the man to West Suburban Hospital, where he was in "stable" condition, Estrada said. Police could not say the extent of his injuries.

• At 10:45 p.m. Friday, a 14-year-old boy was shot while walking down the sidewalk in Humboldt Park, Estrada said.
