A 29-year-old man was fatally shot in Gary Wednesday.

Jarell Taylor was with another man, 29, parked in the 3700 block of Madison Street about 9:05 p.m, when another vehicle drove by and fired shots at them, according to Gary police and the Lake County Coroner’s office.

Taylor was struck and driven to Methodist Hospital Northlake, police said.
