At least five people were shot Friday in citywide gun violence, including a 42-year-old man killed in a double shooting in Englewood on the South Side.

Nathaniel Roberts and another man, 43, were sitting in a parked vehicle about 1:34 a.m. in the 7000 block of South Perry Avenue when someone in a white SUV opened fire, Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said.

Roberts was struck in the abdomen and right shoulder, authorities said. He was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. The 43-year-old was hit in the arm, hand and was taken to the same hospital where his condition was stabilized.
