A man was killed Thursday evening in a West Garfield Park drive-by shooting.

Lorenzo Reed, 24, was on a sidewalk about 5:30 p.m. when a dark van pulled up in the 4300 block of West Adams and someone inside opened fire, Chicago Police and the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office said. He was shot in the head and pronounced dead on the scene.

Reed lived in the East Garfield Park neighborhood, the medical examiner’s office said. An autopsy Friday found he died of multiple gunshot wounds, and his death was ruled a homicide.

Area North detectives are investigating.
