A 21-year-old man was shot to death on Lake Shore Drive late Sunday and his body was dumped in the South Side Bronzeville neighborhood.

George Morgan was in a vehicle in the 600 block of South Lake Shore Drive when shots rang out and he was struck in the lower back, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

He was driven to the first block of East 35th Street, where he was abandoned, authorities said. Officers responding to that block about 10:40 p.m. found him lying on the ground.

Morgan was then taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 11:13 p.m., according to the medical examiner’s office. He lived in the 6200 block of North Richmond.

An autopsy found he died of a gunshot wound to the torso and his death was ruled a homicide.
