A 19-year-old man was shot Thursday afternoon in the South Side Englewood neighborhood.

He was walking about 4 p.m. in the 5800 block of South Peoria when an SUV drove up and someone inside fired shots, striking him in the chest, according to Chicago Police. He walked to a residence, where emergency responders were called.

The 19-year-old was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in serious condition, Fire Media Affairs said. His condition was stabilized.

A child was also injured, but was not shot, the fire department said. The child suffered a scrape to their back.
