A man was found shot to death Monday afternoon in the West Garfield Park neighborhood on the West Side.

Officers responded to a call of shots fired at 12:42 p.m. and found 23-year-old George Parker lying on the ground in a vacant lot in the 300 block of South Keeler, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
