A man was found shot to death Tuesday night in the Washington Heights neighborhood on the Far South Side.

Officers responding to a call of a person shot at 8:26 p.m. found 23-year-old Marcus Childs in the 1000 block of West 103rd Street, according to Chicago Police. He had been shot multiple times and was pronounced dead at the scene at 8:54 p.m.

On Wednesday, the Cook County medical examiner’s office listed Childs as a 29-year-old who lived in the West Englewood neighborhood.
