Police are investigating a shooting in Jefferson Park after a man was wounded while sitting in his car overnight.
The victim told Chicago police he was inside a BMW in the 4900 block of West Gunnison when someone approached and fired shots around 1:15 a.m., striking him in the hand. He was taken to Community First Hospital for treatment. Officers recovered three shell casings at the scene.
Police were sorting out conflicting information about the gunman. The victim described two Hispanic men, one wearing a baseball cap and a black jersey, as the suspects. However, a witness reported seeing a Black male with dreadlocks fleeing the scene and entering a silver SUV driven by another person. Police are working to clarify these discrepancies as they search for the shooter.
