March 05--A 24-year-old man was in critical condition after being shot early Thursday morning in the South Chicago neighborhood.
The man was sitting in a parked car in front of his relative's house when he was shot around 1:40 a.m. in the 8100 block of South Oglesby Avenue, according to police.
The man suffered about eight gunshot wounds throughout his body and his right arm, police said.
He was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital where he was listed in critical condition, said Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Hector Alfaro.
At the crime scene, police officers blocked off a part of the one-way Oglesby Avenue with yellow and red tape where the man's beige, four-door car stood.
A police officer shone his flashlight, looking for evidence inside the car. At one point, the officer took out a child car seat and put it on the ground next to the car.
The car's alarm system went on and off several times while the officer searched it.
Near the car, at least six shell casings lay in the middle of the street, marked by yellow evidence markers.
As of early Thursday morning, no one was in custody as a result of the shooting.
