UPTOWN — A 55-year-old man was fatally shot outside a social service building in Uptown Friday evening.
The man was struck in his right arm while walking in the 900 block of West Wilson Avenue at about 6:15 p.m. Friday, said Officer Michelle Tannehill, a Chicago Police Department spokeswoman.
He was taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center in critical condition, but was later pronounced dead, she said.
Photos of the aftermath posted to social media show the shooting occurred outside the Ezra Multi-Service Center, located at 909 W. Wilson Ave.
The center strives to prevent homelessness, alleviate hunger, reduce isolation and mitigate other self-sufficiency barriers. It also offers social activities and holiday celebrations to ensure Jews living in poverty can stay connected to their heritage, according to the group's website.
