Nov. 18--A man was killed and five other people were injured, including a 13-year-old girl and two 17-year-old boys, in separate shootings Tuesday, Chicago police said.
Most recently, a 39-year-old man was shot and killed around 11:55 p.m. in the Englewood neighborhood on the South Side, according to police spokesman Officer Hector Alfaro and the man's family.
The man, identified by family members as Noel Burrell, was on the street in the 1200 block of West 73rd Place when he heard gunshots and realized he was struck, Alfaro said.
The man was shot once in the shoulder and collapsed in a nearby gangway, police said. He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead later, police said.
Early Wednesday, police officers cordoned off a few yards with yellow crime scene tape.
Detectives and evidence technicians shone flashlights on the ground and examined a parked silver Hyundai, which had a window shattered by gunfire.
Police said they found more than 10 shell casings.
No one was in custody in the fatal shooting early Wednesday.
Earlier, a 17-year-old boy was shot in the 8600 block of South Morgan Street in the Gresham neighborhood, said Officer Thomas Sweeney, a police spokesman.
The teen was shot in the leg at 8:25 p.m., and his condition had stabilized, said Sweeney. No hospital information was immediately available.
In addition to that shooting, two men were injured in the 2100 block of East 68th Street in the South Shore neighborhood at 3:11 p.m., Sweeney said.
A 29-year-old man was shot in the arm and was in good condition, and a 34-year-old man was shot in the leg and his condition had stabilized, Sweeney said. Both men were taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
The men were standing when a vehicle drove up to them and someone inside the vehicle opened fire, striking the men, Sweeney said.
The earlier shooting happened at 9:05 a.m. in the 11700 block of South Perry Avenue in the West Pullman neighborhood, said Officer Jose Estrada, a police spokesman.
The teens were standing with a group when a dark van drove up and someone inside began shooting, Estrada said. The van then fled.
The girl was shot in the right leg, and the boy was shot in the buttocks, Estrada said. Both teens were taken in good condition to Advocate Christ Medical Center, Estrada said.
Police said the shooting may be gang-related because the boy is a known gang member.
