A man was shot to death Saturday morning in the Austin neighborhood on the West Side.
Maurice Johnson, 26, was outside about 10:35 a.m. in the 1100 block of North Waller Avenue when he was shot in his abdomen, right bicep and right knee, Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said.
He was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said.
No one was in custody.
Johnson is the third person killed in the Austin neighborhood in the last week, according to data kept by the Chicago Sun-Times.
On Oct. 22, 18-year-old Joshua Stokes was found fatally shot about two miles away, police said. Hours later, on Oct. 23, a man was fatally stabbed during a domestic disturbance in the 5100 block of West Augusta Boulevard.
Thirty-three people have been killed in Austin so far this year, according to Sun-Times homicide statistics. Fifty-four murders were recorded in the neighborhood last year in the same span.
