A 67-year-old man died Sunday night after he and two other men were shot the night before in the South Side Englewood neighborhood.

The group of three men was congregating on a corner in the 700 block of West 66th Street about 6:45 p.m. when someone came out of an alley, fired shots and ran off northbound, according to Chicago Police.

Lonnie King, 67, was shot in the back and taken to Stroger Hospital, where he died at 9:43 p.m. Sunday, according to police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office. He lived in the 8600 block of South Carpenter.

A 50-year-old man was also taken to Stroger Hospital with two gunshot wounds to the buttocks and his condition was stabilized, police said.

A 30-year-old man suffered a gunshot wound to the left hand and took himself to St. Bernard Hospital and Health Care Center, where he was in good condition, police said.
