At least four people have been shot, one fatally, in Chicago since the weekend began Friday evening.

The fatal shooting happened at night in the Austin neighborhood on the West Side.

Von Lindsey, 25, was sitting in a vehicle at 8 p.m. in the 5900 block of West Chicago Avenue when he was shot, according to Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office. He was struck multiple times and died at Stroger Hospital about half an hour later.

In nonfatal shootings, a drive-by attack left one man wounded Sunday morning in the Lawndale neighborhood on the West Side.

At 1:49 a.m., the 33-year-old was riding in a vehicle in the 3100 block of West Lexington when he was shot, police said. Someone inside a passing red sedan fired at him and struck his foot.

About three hours earlier, a man was shot in another West Side drive-by, this time in the East Garfield Park neighborhood.

At 11:05 p.m., the 25-year-old was shot while sitting inside a parked vehicle in the 600 block of North Ridgeway, police said. Someone inside a dark sports-utility vehicle fired gunshots at him, striking his right leg and right arm.
