A 30-year-old man was killed in a shooting near his Gresham neighborhood home Thursday evening on the South Side.

Jonathan Halbert was outside about 6:10 p.m. in the 8200 block of South Carpenter when two people walked up to him from an alley and shot him in the legs and shoulders, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Halbert was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he died at 6:59 p.m, authorities said.

An autopsy Friday determined Halbert died of multiple gun shot wounds, the medical examiner’s office said.
