A man was found shot at an Uptown intersection on Sunday morning, but he didn’t want to cooperate with the Chicago cops who showed up to help him.
Officers responded to a 911 call about a man who fell out of an SUV in the 4800 block of North Sheridan around 5:12 a.m. It turned out that the man had a gunshot wound in his lower right leg, according to CPD.
An officer who reviewed surveillance video said the footage showed the injured man pull up to the intersection in an SUV, get out, and sit down on the ground around 5:03 a.m. He was already shot when he arrived, according to the officer. CPD said he was in good condition at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center.
Investigators suspect the man was shot near the 4900 block of North Winthrop around 5 a.m. That’s because they received calls of shots fired in that area, which is only a block or two from where the man was found.
So far this year, only two people have been shot in Uptown. That’s down from seven victims at this point last year. The year-to-date shooting victim totals in other recent years:
2023: 4
2022: 9
2021: 5
2020: 7
2019: 8
