A man was shot to death Friday evening less than a block from his Back of the Yards neighborhood home on the South Side.

About 8:15 p.m., 52-year-old Victor Carrillo was sitting in a vehicle parked in an alley off the 4400 block of South Marshfield when gunshots rang out and he was struck in his chest, Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said.

Another person drove Carrillo to Stroger Hospital, where he died at 8:52 p.m., authorities said. He lived in the same block where the shooting occurred.

Area Central detectives were investigating.
