Man shot to death on back porch of Pilsen home: police

Police investigate the scene where a man was shot and killed in the 1600 block of South Loomis Street, July 13, 2019, in Pilsen.

A man was killed in a shooting Saturday while he was outside on the back porch of a home in Pilsen, police said.

Officers traveled back and forth in the 1600 block of South Loomis with a malfunctioning street lamp on the corner barely shining any light. They gathered near the front porch of the home, speaking to people on the sidewalk.

Suddenly, a woman broke through the group and cried out “No! No! No! No!” before collapsing to her knees on the pavement next to a parked car.

About 3:33 a.m., a witness heard gunfire and found the 36-year-old unresponsive with several gunshot wounds to the body, Chicago police said.

The man was pronounced on the scene, police said. The Cook County medical examiner’s office hasn’t released details on his death.

No arrests have been reported. Area Central detectives are investigating.
