A man was killed and another was wounded in a shooting Saturday afternoon in the West Side Austin neighborhood.

The men, ages 21 and 25, were sitting on a back porch at 2:34 p.m. in the 5200 block of West Ferdinand when another male walked up, fired shots and ran off in an unknown direction, according to Chicago Police.

The younger man, identified as Kishaun Mobley, suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the head and body and was pronounced dead at the scene 3:12 p.m., police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said. He lived in the same neighborhood as the shooting.

The older man was taken in good condition to Stroger Hospital with a gunshot wound to his ankle, police said.

No one was in custody as Area North detectives investigated.
