1 killed, 3 wounded in Englewood shooting

Four people were shot, one of them fatally, Sunday afternoon in Englewood on the South Side.

Just before 4 p.m., the group was on a porch in the 6100 block of South Throop Street when two people got out of a passing vehicle and opened fire, Chicago police said.

A 36-year-old man was struck in the head and taken to Stroger Hospital, where he died, police said.

The Cook County medical examiner’s office identified him as Jerome Hawkins of Englewood. An autopsy ruled his death a homicide.
