A teenager was shot to death Wednesday while riding a bike in Humboldt Park on the West Side, police said.

The 17-year-old boy was riding on a sidewalk about 5 p.m. in the 3900 block of West Iowa Street when a red Hyundai SUV approached, two people got out and one of them fired shots, Chicago police said.
