One man was killed and another injured Wednesday after an exchange gunfire inside a vehicle in Gage Park on the Southwest Side.

A man, 27, was in the front seat about 10:20 p.m. in the 5300 block of South Albany Avenue when someone in the back seat pulled out a gun and shot him in the torso, police said. The 27-year-old also fired shots, possibly striking the back seat passenger.

Another man in the vehicle, 20, was shot in the chest and taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said.

The 27-year-old was able to run before a friend drove him to Holy Cross Hospital, police said. He was later transferred to Mt. Sinai Hospital, where he was in good condition.

Police sources said the incident appears to be drug-related.

No one is in custody, as Area Central detectives investigate.
