A shooting Tuesday left a man dead and a woman hurt on the South Side, police said.

They were sitting in a vehicle about 2 p.m. in the 1400 block of East 79th Street when a white SUV pulled up and two males fired shots, Chicago police said.

The man, 25, was struck multiple times and taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, police said. The 26-year-old woman was shot in the leg and stabilized at the same hospital.

The Cook County medical examiner’s office hasn’t released details on the death.
