A man who was shot to death early Sunday in the Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood on the South Side has been identified.

Selton Ellis, 30, was standing near the front counter of a gas station near 72nd Street and South Chicago Avenue at 4:27 a.m. when a male entered and shot him multiple times in the torso, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead at 5:18 a.m., authorities said. He lived in the 7300 block of South Greenwood Avenue.
