A man was killed and two other men were wounded in a shooting Tuesday night on the Near West Side.

The shooting happened about 8:40 p.m. when four people got out of a dark vehicle in the 200 block of South Hoyne and fired at the three men as they stood on a corner, Chicago Police said.

Antwon High, 26, was shot in the chest and was pronounced dead at the scene at 9:05 p.m., according to police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office. He lived in the North Lawndale neighborhood on the West Side.

A 21-year-old man was shot in the groin and was taken to Stroger Hospital in serious condition, police said. A 23-year-old suffered a gunshot wound to his left knee. He was also taken to Stroger, where his condition was stabilized.
