A man was killed in a shooting Tuesday in Princeton Park on the South Side.

He was on the sidewalk about 12:45 p.m. in the 9100 block of South Wentworth Avenue when someone opened fire, striking him multiple times, Chicago police said.

The 25-year-old was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, police said. His identity has not been released.

Area Two detectives are investigating.

The shooting comes after a Memorial Day weekend in which 34 people were wounded, three fatally, in gun violence across Chicago. It was the city’s least violent Memorial Day weekend in three years.
