A 24-year-old man was fatally shot Sunday evening in the Lawndale neighborhood on the Southwest Side.

About 6:20 p.m., Corey Underwood was standing outside in the 1300 block of South Komensky when at least one person fired shots, striking him in his right leg, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 7:06 p.m., authorities said. He lived in the same neighborhood as the shooting.
