A man was shot to death Saturday in Chicago Lawn on the Southwest Side, according to Chicago police.

The man, 41, was on the corner about 2:20 p.m. in the 6000 block of South Fairfield Avenue when someone walked up and fired shots at him, police said.

The man was struck in the back and abdomen and taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn where he was pronounced dead, police said.

The shooter ran off east on 60th Street, police said.

Though the Cook County medical examiner’s office has not yet identified the man, an autopsy conducted Sunday said he died of multiple gunshot wounds, and ruled his death a homicide.

No one is in custody as Area Central detectives investigate.
