A man was killed and a woman critically wounded in shooting Friday in the West Side Humboldt Park neighborhood, according to police.

The pair were approached by someone with a gun about 8:15 p.m. in the 4200 block of West Iowa Street, Chicago police said.

The person fired several shots, striking the man seven times and the woman three times, police said.

Both were taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital, where the 34-year-old man was pronounced dead, police said. The 28-year-old woman — struck once each in the chest, back and arm — was listed in critical condition.

The Cook County medical examiner’s office has not identified the man. An autopsy conducted Saturday ruled his death a homicide by multiple gunshot wounds.

Police said no arrests have been made. Area North detectives are conducting a homicide investigation.
