A man was killed and two people were hurt in a shooting Saturday in South Shore on the South Side.

They were standing on the sidewalk about 9:43 p.m. in the 2700 block of East 75th Street when someone in a blue SUV fired shots, Chicago police said.

One man, 33, was shot several times in the chest, police said. A friend drove him to Jackson Park Hospital, where he died. The Cook County medical examiner’s office hasn’t released details about his death.

Another man, 44, was hit in the thigh and taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in fair condition, police said. A 27-year-old woman was grazed on the ankle and declined medical treatment.

No one is in custody as Area Two detectives investigate.
