Man shot while sitting in car in Evanston

A 24-year-old man was shot while sitting in a car early Monday in north suburban Evanston.

About 1:10 a.m., officers responded to shots fired in the 2100 block of Darrow Avenue and didn’t find anyone, according to Evanston police.

Evanston Hospital then notified police that a gunshot victim had just arrived.

Several bullet holes were found on both sides of the rental car, and six spent shell casings, both 9mm and .40 caliber, were found in the 2100 block of Darrow, police said.
