Two men were shot to death Friday afternoon in the West Side Lawndale neighborhood.

About 4:30 p.m., Johnathan Jeter and Darius Brown, both 23, were standing outside in the 2200 block of South Kolin when someone walked over and fired at them, according to Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

The shooter got inside a blue Nissan Pathfinder and drove away via an empty parking lot, police said.

Jeter and Brown both suffered multiple gunshot wounds and were taken to hospitals, where they died, authorities said.

Jeter was a resident of the Near West Side, according to the medical examiner’s office. Brown’s home address wasn’t released.

Area Central detectives were conducting a homicide investigating.
