A man was found shot to death Monday afternoon in the West Garfield Park neighborhood on the West Side.

Officers responded to a call of shots fired at 12:42 p.m. and found 23-year-old George Parker lying on the ground in a vacant lot in the 300 block of South Keeler, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Parker, who lived in the same neighborhood, had suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene at 12:59 p.m., authorities said.

Additional details were not immediately available and no one was in custody Monday as Area North detectives conducted a homicide investigation.
