A 46-year-old man crashed and struck a person Sunday after he was fatally shot in Lawndale on the West Side, according to Chicago police.

About 9:50 a.m. he was sitting in the driver-side of a vehicle in the 3900 block of West Roosevelt Road, talking to someone standing on his passenger-side, when someone wearing a black surgical mask and black hoodie with a design on it fired shots at him, police said.
