Two men were fatally shot Tuesday morning in the West Englewood neighborhood on the South Side.

They were sitting on a porch in the 1800 block of West 58th Street about 10:45 a.m. when a dark Chevrolet drove by and a passenger fired shots, according to Chicago Police.

Raymond D. Griffin, 30, was shot in the neck and taken to Stroger Hospital, where he died at 6:30 p.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office. He lived on the same block where the shooting happened.
