A man was shot to death Wednesday in Lawndale on the West Side.

The 22-year-old was shot multiple times at 8:36 a.m. while sitting in a running, parked vehicle in the 1800 block of South Hamlin Street, according to Chicago police.

Someone in a nearby house heard the shots and called 911 after seeing bullet holes in the vehicle’s windows, police said.

The man was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital with three gunshot wounds to the left arm, a gunshot wound to the chest and a gunshot wound to the leg, police said. He was later pronounced dead.

The Cook County medical examiner’s office has not released details about the death.

Area Central detectives are investigating.
