Victim killed in Englewood shooting identified as South Side man

Feb. 16--A South Side man who was fatally shot Sunday morning in a shooting that left another man wounded has been identified.

The 21-year-old man was identified Monday as Lynell Bradley Jr., of the 6500 block of South Laflin Street in Chicago, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office. He was shot in the back and was taken to Stroger Hospital in serious condition, police said. He was pronounced dead there at 4:21 a.m., according to the medical examiner's office. An autopsy on Monday determined he died of multiple gunshot wounds.

The shooting happened about 3:20 a.m. in the 1400 block of West 71st Street in the Englewood neighborhood on the South Side. Two men in a minivan were stopped at a traffic light when a tan-colored SUV pulled up behind the minivan and a gunman in the SUV opened fire, police said.

A 24-year-old man inside the minivan was shot repeatedly in his right arm and his face. He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, and his condition was later stabilized, police said.

As of Monday afternoon, no one was in custody in connection with the fatal shooting.

The minivan came to rest just past the intersection of West 71st Street and South Loomis Boulevard, across the street from Altgeld Elementary School. The driver's window and the driver's side passenger window of the minivan had been shot out, and shattered glass littered the ground.

A tiger-striped bag sat just next to the van. As detectives investigated the minivan, cars driving on Loomis slowed to watch. The shooting happened just below a police camera positioned at the southwest corner of the intersection.
