A man was fatally shot Sunday evening while sitting on a porch in the South Side Back of the Yards neighborhood.

Gregory Jodie, 26, was sitting on the porch at 5:07 p.m. when someone walked through a gangway in the 5400 block of South Winchester and opened fire, Chicago Police and the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office said.

Jodie was struck once in the chest and three times in the back, and was pronounced dead at a hospital, authorities said.

The shooter got into a silver car and drove away, police said. No one was in custody Sunday night as Area Central detectives investigated.
