Two men were wounded, one of them fatally, in a shooting Friday afternoon in the Brighton Park neighborhood on the Southwest Side, police said.
The men, ages 20 and 33, were standing on the sidewalk at 12:08 p.m. in the 3500 block of West 38th Place when two people jumped out of a gray van and opened fire, according to Chicago police. The suspects then got back into the van and continued northbound.
The younger man suffered a gunshot wound to the abdomen, while the older man was struck in his leg, police said. They were both taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where the younger man died and the other man’s condition was stabilized.
The Cook County medical examiner’s office didn’t immediately confirm the fatality.
Area Central detectives are conducting a homicide investigation.
