A man was killed and a woman wounded in a drive-by shooting Sunday evening in the Brighton Park neighborhood.

The man and woman, both 34, were in a vehicle at 7:52 p.m. in the 3600 block of South Western when someone fired shots from a dark-colored SUV that pulled up next to them, according to Chicago Police.

Michael Robert Gonzalez and the woman were both shot multiple times in the body and taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where Gonzalez died at 8:26 p.m. The woman was listed in critical condition, authorities said.

Gonzalez lived in the Pilsen neighborhood.
