Hundreds were gathered on an Englewood neighborhood block early Sunday to celebrate a man’s 80th birthday party when gunfire erupted, sending those in attendance running for safety.
Shortly after 1 a.m., the man, said to be 26 by someone who knew him, was found slumped against a fence on a sidewalk in the 5700 block of South Carpenter Street with gunshot wounds to his head and body, Chicago police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
