The fatal shooting happened at 6:06 p.m. in the South Shore neighborhood. Juan Jerome William Mason-Perry, 20, was walking in the 2700 block of East 76th Street when someone walked up to him, fired shots and ran off, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office. He was struck multiple times and taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He lived in the Woodlawn neighborhood.

A 17-year-old boy was shot about 10:40 p.m. in the Bronzeville neighborhood on the South Side. He had just exited a parked vehicle in the 600 block of East Bowen when someone emerged from between two nearby parked vehicles and fired shots at him, police said. The boy was shot in the back and was taken to Stroger Hospital, where his condition was stabilized.

A man was shot and critically wounded nearly 10 hours earlier in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood on the Southwest Side. The 20-year-old was standing outside of a home in the 6300 block of South Talman at 12:48 p.m. when two males approached him, fired shots and then ran away, according to police.
