A man was shot to death Thursday night in the Burnside neighborhood on the South Side.

About 9:30 p.m., the 31-year-old man was exiting his vehicle in the 9200 block of South Dauphine Avenue when he was shot multiple times by several people, Chicago Police said.

The man, identified as Jerome Fouch, was pronounced at the scene, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office. He lived on the same block of the shooting.

Fouch was being followed by a black Dodge Charger just before the shooting, according family members who had talked to him by phone and police.

“They killed my baby,” the mother of the victim said. “Why they have to take him?”
