Two teenage boys were shot, one fatally, Wednesday near Little Village on the Southwest Side.

The boys, 16 and 17, were in a vehicle about 12:10 a.m. when someone inside a passing black sedan fired shots at them on South Cicero Avenue, Chicago police said.

The 16-year-old was struck in the torso, while the older boy was grazed in the back, police said. A friend took the teens to MacNeal Hospital, where the younger boy was listed in critical condition.

The 16-year-old was pronounced dead at 1:23 p.m. at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Area One detectives are investigating.
