A 21-year-old man died after he was shot multiple times in the chest and crashed his vehicle Wednesday morning in the South Side Burnside neighborhood.

Michael Wright was driving in the 9300 block of South Greenwood about 10:35 a.m. when someone in a gray car, possibly a Chevrolet, pulled alongside and opened fire, police said.

Wright was shot multiple times in the chest, then crashed his car about two blocks away in the 9100 block of South Greenwood, police said.
