Two men dead following separate North Lawndale shootings
Two men were slain about an hour apart and a mile away from each other during apparently separate drive-by shootings Monday morning in North Lawndale.
Chicago police could not confirm if the attacks, which left a 22-year-old man and a 20-year-old man dead, were connected.
About 10:50 a.m. in the 3700 block of West Roosevelt Road, someone behind the wheel of a black sport-utility vehicle shot the 22-year-old as he walked, police said. The unidentified victim suffered gunshot wounds throughout his body and was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said.
An hour earlier in the 1800 block of South Komensky Avenue, the 20-year-old man was on foot when someone inside a sport-utility vehicle jumped out and shot him in the arm and chest, police said. That unidentified man was also taken to Mount Sinai Hospital where he died.
No arrests have been made in either attack, which are being investigated by Area 4 detectives.
