A man was fatally shot in Chicago’s South Austin neighborhood Friday morning.
Police said the shooting happened just after 9:30 a.m. in the 500 block of North Laramie.
There, a 30-year-old man was in the driver's seat of a car when another man walked up and opened fire, authorities said. The gunman fled the scene but no one was in custody as of noon Friday.
