A downstate man was shot to death Friday evening in the Lawndale neighborhood on the Southwest Side.

About 5:05 p.m., 23-year-old Daniel Nash was in the 1500 block of South Ridgeway when a person walked up to him, fired shots and ran away, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Nash, who lived in downstate Fairview Heights, was shot in the head and taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead less than 30 minutes later, authorities said.

Area Central detectives were conducting a homicide investigation.
