A 58-year-old man died after a bullet ripped through a front door of his Southwest Side home and struck him in the head as he was eating dinner, police said.
The shooting happened at 8:08 p.m on the 5200 block of South Kolin Avenue in the Archer Heights neighborhood, said Officer Kevin Quaid, a police spokesman.
The man, identified as Andres Rivera, was sitting at his kitchen table when a bullet entered through a front door and struck him in the head as he was eating, according to police and the Cook County medical examiner's office. Rivera was pronounced dead at 8:38 p.m. on the scene.
Police think that while the shooting was gang-related, the man was not the intended target.
In the most recent fatality, a 35-year-old man was shot to death about 5:10 a.m. Sunday while he was in a vehicle on Lake Shore Drive on the North Side, police said.
The man was sitting in the rear passenger seat of a car traveling north in the 4400 block of North Lake Shore Drive when another car pulled up and an attacker inside fired shots, said Officer Jose Estrada, a Chicago police spokesman.
The man was struck in the back, and the car he was in crashed into a pole in the 5000 block of North Lake Shore Drive, Estrada said.
The man was taken in critical condition to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead, Estrada said.
The driver and the second passenger inside the car did not appear to suffer any injuries, Estrada said.
A 26-year-old man was also discovered shot to death in the South Austin neighborhood on the West Side about 10:50 p.m. Saturday, said Officer Hector Alfaro, a Chicago police spokesman.
