A man was found shot to death Sunday in Avondale on the Northwest Side.

Officers found him unresponsive in the driver’s seat of a vehicle at 5:05 a.m. in an alley in the 3600 block of West Belmont Avenue, Chicago police said.

The man, thought to be in his mid-20s, had been shot in the head and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

The Cook County medical examiner’s office hasn’t identified him, but autopsy reports Monday found he died from his gunshot wound and ruled his death a homicide.

The circumstances of the shooting remain under investigation by Area Five detectives, police said.
