Killed was Jeremy Colanto, according to police and the Cook County medical examiner's office. Court records list his last known address as the 7500 block of North Sheridan Road.
A medical examiner's spokeswoman gave Colanto's last name as Colanco, an alias he previously used, police said.
Colanto was standing on the street in the 3100 block of South Green Street at about 10:18 p.m. Monday when a passenger in a black van jumped out of the vehicle and opened fire, police said.
Colanto, who was struck in the back, ran a short distance before collapsing on the street and dying at the scene, police said.
The black van fled north on Poplar Avenue.
Colanto was released from the Lawrence Correctional Center last August after serving four years of a 10-year sentence for residential burglary, according to state records. He had numerous convictions for residential burglary dating back to 1999, court records show.
Investigators suspect that Colanto was targeted by a rival gang, but hadn't made any arrests.
An autopsy is scheduled for this morning
