At about 5:40 p.m., a man was pronounced dead after he was shot on the 5900 block of South Richmond Street, Alfaro said.
The man was on the street when a male offender got out of a dark-colored SUV, went up to him and shot the victim in the throat and thigh, said Alfaro.

The man was pronounced dead and police were conducting a homicide investigation, Alfaro said.
At about 7 p.m. another man was shot in the leg on the 8700 block of South Stony Island Boulevard, said Alfaro. The man's condition was not available.
