A man was shot to death inside a vehicle Monday morning in Portage Park on the Northwest Side.

Officers responded to gunfire about 6 a.m. and found the man unresponsive with gunshot wounds in the 4000 block of North Lockwood Avenue, according to preliminary information from Chicago police.

He was identified as Luis Perez, 33, the Cook County medical examiner’s office said.

The circumstances of the shooting were not immediately released.

An autopsy released Tuesday ruled his death a homicide.

The man was killed minutes after the holiday weekend that saw 30 people shot — 8 of them fatally — between 5 a.m. Thursday and 5 a.m. Monday.
