A 44-year-old man was shot to death early Sunday while driving on the South Side.

David Hobson Jr. was driving north in the 7900 block of South Brandon about 2:40 a.m. when his vehicle crashed into a parked vehicle, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

When Hobson was pulled from the vehicle, paramedics discovered he had been shot in the left shoulder and head, authorities said.

Hobson, of the West Side Humboldt Park neighborhood, was taken to South Shore Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 3:45 a.m., authorities said.
