Man killed, another hurt in Austin shooting

A man was killed and another was wounded in a shooting Saturday in Austin on the West Side.

Officers responding to reports of a person shot at 7:46 p.m. in the 200 block of North Central Avenue found the two men on the sidewalk, according to Chicago police.

Alonzo X. Robinson, 27, was shot in the torso and taken to West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park, where he was pronounced dead, police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said. An autopsy ruled his death a homicide.

The other man, 32, was hit in the left foot and taken to the same hospital in good condition, police said.

Earlier that evening, a 3-year-old boy was killed and his father was grazed in another shooting blocks away in the 600 block of North Central.
