Morris Jones, 36, died Aug. 27 at the hospice unit at Mercy Hospital, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

An autopsy found he died of complications of a gunshot wound to his neck.

Jones was shot months earlier on April 22 in a drive-by in the first block of East 119th Street, authorities said at the time.
