A teenage boy was shot and killed Sunday night outside a gas station on the South Side.

Alfredo Lozna, 17, was standing outside the business about 10:40 p.m. in the 5200 block of South Western when a white car with a female driver and a male passenger pulled up, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

An argument ensued and the male passenger shot Lozna, who then returned fire, authorities said.

Lozna suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 11:18 p.m., authorities said. He lived in the Gage Park neighborhood on the Southwest Side.

A gun was recovered at the scene, but it was not immediately known whether anyone else was injured during the exchange. Area Central detectives were investigating.
