A 22-year-old man was shot and killed Tuesday in Austin on the West Side, according to police.

He was in the 5700 block of West Augusta Boulevard about 5:20 p.m. when a light-colored Mercedes SUV pulled up, Chicago police said. Two people inside the vehicle unleashed gunfire, striking the man in the chest.

The man was taken to Stroger Hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said. The Cook County medical examiner’s office hasn’t released details about his death.

No one is in custody as Area North detectives investigate.
