An Englewood neighborhood shooting left a man dead and another wounded Friday night on the South Side.

Terry Bates Jr., 26, and a 27-year-old man were outside in the 200 block of West Garfield about 8:45 p.m. when two gunmen walked up to them and opened fire before running away, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

They were shot multiple times and taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where Bates was pronounced dead at 10:35 p.m., authorities said. He lived in the 500 block of West Oak.

The condition of the 27-year-old, who suffered chest and leg wounds, was stabilized, police said.

Investigators think the shooting was gang-related.
