A man was killed and a 7-year-old girl was injured in a shooting Sunday in Humboldt Park on the West Side.

Fermin Cisneros, 36, was driving a car with the child and several adults at 3:04 a.m. when they heard gunshots from behind in the 1300 block of North Rockwell Street, according to Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Cisneros was hit in the head and the girl was hit in the back, officials said. The car came to a stop in the 1500 block of North Rockwell and they were taken to Stroger Hospital, where Cisneros was pronounced dead.

The girl, who is related to Cisneros, was listed in fair condition, police said.

The other passengers told investigators they didn’t see the shooter or know where the shots came from, police said. No other injuries were reported.

Area North detectives are investigating.
