A man shot nearly two months ago in west suburban Maywood died Monday.

David Williams, 36, was shot Nov. 10 in the 300 block of Fifth Avenue, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Officers responded about 7:46 p.m. to a home in the 300 block of Fifth Avenue and found David Williams, 36, unresponsive in a corridor of the home with a head injury, according to Maywood police and the medical examiner’s office.

He was taken to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, where staff determined he had been shot in the back of the head, police said. No weapon was found at the scene and a motive wasn’t known.

Williams was pronounced dead at 10:16 p.m. Monday, the medical examiner’s office said. An autopsy Tuesday found he died of complications from a gunshot wound to his head and his death was ruled a homicide.
