A man was killed in a shooting Sunday in Gage Park on the Southwest Side.
Juan Linares, 24, was riding in the back seat of a vehicle at 2:11 a.m. in the 5100 block of South Washtenaw Avenue, according to Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office. As the vehicle headed south, two males standing on the corner flashed gang signs and fired at him.
The driver of the vehicle took Linares to Mount Sinai Hospital with a gunshot wound to the side of his torso, authorities said. Linares, who lived in the Back of the Yards, was later pronounced dead.
The shooters ran away after firing and no other injuries were reported, authorities said.
No one is in custody as Area Central detectives investigate.
