A man and woman were killed in a shooting Monday morning in the Englewood neighborhood on the South Side, police said.

Carlos Bonds and Renee Smith, both 33, were sitting in a vehicle about 11:15 a.m. in the 5500 block of South Green when someone walked up and fired shots, striking Bonds in the back and Smith in the head, according to Chicago police and the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office.

The gunman, who was wearing gray pants and a white shirt, then left the area in a silver car, police said.

Bonds was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. He lived nearby in the Parkway Gardens neighborhood.

Smith, who lived in Englewood, was taken in critical condition to University of Chicago Medical Center. She was pronounced dead at 4:06 p.m., authorities said.
