ENGLEWOOD — Violence in Englewood left two men dead and two other people wounded Thursday and early Friday, police said.

Just after 3 p.m. Thursday, Gerald Sias, 37, was shot to death and another man was wounded when someone shot into Powell's Barber Shop.

Around 12:15 a.m. Friday, officers found a 22-year-old man sitting in the driver's seat of a car with a wound in his chest in the 7200 block of South Aberdeen Street, according to Officer Ana Pacheco, a Chicago Police spokeswoman.

The man was pronounced dead on the scene, police said.

The man was identified as Marshawn Cooper, of Alsip, in Cook County Medical Examiner's Office records. Cooper was pronounced dead at 1:50 a.m. An autopsy showed he died of a stab wound in his chest in a homicide. Police originally said Cooper had been killed in a shooting.

Just after 9 p.m. Thursday, a 50-year-old woman was sitting on her porch in the 7000 block of South Throop Street when she heard gunshots and felt pain, Pacheco said.

The woman was brought to Advocate Christ Medical Center with a gunshot wound in her abdomen, Pacheco said. Police could not immediately provide her condition but said she was "stable."

No one is in custody, police said.
