A man was killed, and two other people were shot inside an apartment building Tuesday in Washington Park on the South Side, police said.

They were inside the common area of a residential building about 5:51 p.m. in the first block of East Garfield Boulevard when a male approached them, pulled out a firearm and fired shots, Chicago police said.

Ed Robinson, 32, was shot in the head and taken to Stroger Hospital where he was pronounced dead, police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said. He lived in the building where he was shot.

An autopsy found he died from multiple gunshot wounds, the medical examiner’s office said. His death was ruled a homicide.

An 18-year-old man, shot in the shoulder and back, was treated at the same hospital, police said. His condition had stabilized.

A 48-year-old woman was grazed in the foot and declined medical attention, police said.

A weapon was recovered on the scene, and no one was in custody, police said. Area Central detectives are investigating.
