One man was killed and five others were wounded in shootings across Chicago on Easter Sunday.

The only fatal shooting happened about 1:10 a.m. in the Burnside neighborhood on the South Side. Terrance Ford, 25, was walking in the 700 block of East 92nd when two males walked up to him and fired shots before driving off in a black sedan, according to Chicago Police. Ford, who lived in the same block as the shooting, suffered gunshot wounds to the abdomen and face. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The day’s final shooting happened about 9:05 p.m. in the South Shore neighborhood. A 38-year-old man was arguing with someone in the hallway of an apartment in the 7000 block of South Merrill Avenue when the other person pulled out a weapon and shot him in the face and leg, police said. He was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where his condition was stabilized.

Hours earlier, a man was wounded in a shooting in the West Side Austin neighborhood. The 25-year-old was sitting inside a vehicle about 2:45 p.m. in the 100 block of North Long when someone walked up and shot him in the arm, police said. He showed up at West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park, where his condition stabilized.

At 10:11 a.m., a man crashed the vehicle he was driving after being shot in the Kenwood neighborhood on the South Side. The 31-year-old was driving in the 4900 block of South Kimbark when he was shot in his arm, foot and side, police said. He then crashed the vehicle in the 5600 block of South Lake Park Avenue. He was taken to Northwestern, where his condition stabilized.

About five hours earlier, a man was wounded in another Austin neighborhood shooting on the West Side. The 23-year-old was shot above his eyebrow about 5 a.m. in the 1400 block of North Linder, police said. He showed up at West Suburban, where his condition stabilized.

Another 23-year-old walked into Northwestern a few hours earlier after suffering a gunshot wound to his knee. The shooting happened at 2:43 a.m., but the man refused to tell police where it happened or provide any other information. He was treated and released from the hospital, police said.

On Saturday, three people were wounded in citywide shootings.
