A 23-year-old man was killed and three more were wounded when they were shot while riding a party bus early Saturday in west suburban River Grove.

Someone in a vehicle fired shots at the bus just after midnight while it was stopped at the intersection of River Road and Belmont Avenue, according to River Grove Police Chief Mike Konwinski.

Four people were shot, and one of them died, Konwinski said.

The Cook County medical examiner’s office identified the man as Delmar McPhail Jr. of Austin.

Konwinski said the West Suburban Major Crime Task Force is “following up leads” with River Grove police, but no one was in custody Saturday afternoon.
