A 25-year-old man was fatally shot in a drive-by while sitting in a vehicle Saturday on the South Side, police said.
At 7 p.m., the man was sitting in a parked vehicle in the 5200 block of South Martin Luther King Drive when a small grey sport utility vehicle pulled up alongside the man, said police News Affairs Officer Laura Kubiak.
The driver of the SUV leaned out and fired multiple shots at the victim before fleeing northbound on King Drive, Kubiak said.
The man drove north onto the Parkway before crashing into a tree, she said.
He was taken to John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County where he was pronounced dead at 10:30 p.m. later that night.
No one was in custody and it is believed the man had gang affiliations, police said.
