A Chicago man was shot to death Thursday evening in a parking lot in southwest suburban Evergreen Park.

Officers were called about 6:45 p.m. to a Walgreens at 8700 S. Kedzie Ave. for a report of shots fired. They found 34-year-old David T. Murrell with a gunshot wound, according to Evergreen Park police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Murrell was pronounced dead at the scene and his death was ruled a homicide, according to authorities. He lived in the 3200 block of West 85th Street in Chicago.

Witnesses said they saw three males running from the area, police said.
