Eight people were shot and four killed Wednesday in incidents of gun violence across Chicago, including a man shot during a domestic incident in Roseland.

Donnie Ray Hill was sitting in a vehicle about 9:20 p.m. in the 11300 block of South Edbrooke Avenue waiting to pick up a relative when a male he knew approached on foot, Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said. The pair argued and the male fired multiple rounds before running off.

Hill, 31, was hit in the arms, chest and ribs, authorities said. He was pronounced dead at Roseland Community Hospital. No arrests have been made as Area South detectives investigate.

On Wednesday afternoon, a man was shot to death as he stood on a sidewalk in South Chicago.

Alex Wilson, 23, was shot at 1:46 p.m. in the 8700 block of South Kingston Avenue, authorities said. Someone walked up, pulled out a handgun and started shooting. Wilson was hit in the head, chest and hand. He was taken to Trinity Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

In Englewood, one man was killed and another wounded in a shooting.

The pair were on a front porch about 11:30 a.m. in the 1800 block of West 57th Street when two males ran up and one of them opened fire, police said.

Traeshaun Archie, 21, was struck by gunfire and ran to the back porch of the home in the 1800 block of West 57th Street, authorities said. After police showed up, he was pronounced dead at the scene. An autopsy found Archie died of a gunshot wound to the shoulder.

The other man, 24, was grazed in the back of his head, police said. His condition was stabilized at the University of Chicago Medical Center.

Early Wednesday, a man was shot and killed inside a building in Chatham.

Officers responded to gunfire and found the 30-year-old in the vestibule of a building in the 7800 block of South Indiana Avenue, police said. Devan L. Jones had been shot in the head, chest and abdomen. He was taken to University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

In Wednesday’s non-fatal shootings:
