A south suburban man was killed and a woman was wounded Monday night in a Park Manor neighborhood shooting on the South Side, police said.

The pair were standing about 10:20 p.m. in the 7100 block of South Rhodes when a silver Nissan Altima pulled up and three males got out and opened fire, according to Chicago Police.

Darius Gavin, 20, suffered a gunshot wound to the head, and the woman, believed to be between 20 and 30, was shot in both legs, police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said.

Both were taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where Gavin was pronounced dead, and the woman’s condition was stabilized, authorities said.

He was a resident of south suburban Riverdale.
