CHICAGO — Two men died and another seven people were wounded in shootings around the city between Saturday and Sunday, police said.

• Kori Sellers, 20, was shot to death in Auburn Gresham Saturday evening.

• Around 12:50 a.m. Sunday morning, a man in his 20s was found shot to death in Grand Crossing.

In non-fatal shootings:

• Most recently, around 6 a.m., a man was shot and critically wounded during an argument at an Avondale gas station.

• Just after 3 a.m., a 36-year-old man was shot multiple times and critically wounded on a back porch in Bridgeport.

• Just after 2 a.m. Sunday morning, a 25-year-old man was driving northbound in the 3500 block of South Vincennes Avenue in Bronzeville when he heard gunshots and felt pain in his arm, according to Officer Bari Lemmon, a Chicago Police spokeswoman.

The man drove himself to Providence Hospital, where he was listed in good condition, Lemmon said.

• Around 12:50 a.m., a 15-year-old boy was walking in the 4400 block of South Marshfield Avenue in Back of the Yards when he heard gunshots and felt pain in his leg, Lemmon said.

The boy was taken to Stroger Hospital, Lemmon said. Police could not provide his condition but said he was "stable."

• About an hour-and-a-half earlier, another 15-year-old was shot less than a half-mile away, police said.

The boy was sitting in the front passenger seat of a car stopped at a red light in the 4700 block of South Ashland Avenue when a man in his 20s shot into the car, Lemmon said.

The boy was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he was listed in fair condition with a gunshot wound in his arm and a graze wound in his back, Lemmon said.

• Around 3:45 p.m. Saturday, two teens were standing at the intersection of 70th Street and Stony Island Avenue in South Shore when someone walked up and shot at them, police said.

One of the teens, 18, was brought to Advocate Christ Medical Center, where he was treated for a gunshot wound in his elbow, police said.

The other, 17, was brought to Northwestern Memorial Hospital with a gunshot wound in his stomach, police said.

Both teens were "stable," police said.
