Two men were killed after being shot Saturday in South Chicago, police said.
They were traveling in a vehicle about 11 p.m. in the 8500 block of South Escanaba Avenue when two males on foot opened fire, Chicago police said.
Matthew Mason, 26, was struck in the head and body, and 31-year-old Maurice Jackson was hit in the neck, police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said. Both were taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center where they were pronounced.
Jackson lived in Bloomington, and Mason is from South Chicago, authorities said. An autopsy to determine the cause of their deaths is pending.
No one is in custody as Area South detectives investigate.
