One man was killed and another was critically wounded in a West Englewood neighborhood shooting early Sunday on the South Side.

A 23-year-old man was standing outside with a group of people about 1:25 a.m. in the 7000 block of South Paulina when a vehicle pulled up and someone inside fired multiple shots, according to Chicago Police. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was taken in critical condition to Mount Sinai Hospital.

Aaron Clemons, 21, suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was taken to St. Bernard Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 2:19 a.m., police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said. He lived in the Ashburn neighborhood on the Southwest Side.

Area South detectives were conducting a homicide investigation.
