One man was killed and four others were wounded Friday in gun violence across the city, police said.
A shooting in the West Side Garfield Park neighborhood claimed the life of 27-year-old Tyron Lee. He was standing on a sidewalk about 10:50 p.m. in the 100 block of South Albany Avenue, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office. Two males exited a silver car and then shot him.
Lee was taken with gunshot wounds to his face and back to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to authorities. He lived in the same neighborhood as the shooting.
An autopsy Saturday afternoon ruled that Lee died from multiple gunshot wounds. His death was ruled a homicide.

He showed up at West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park, where a wound to his right shoulder was stabilized.
