A 39-year-old man was shot multiple times in the leg and the abdomen. He was transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he later died, police said. Authorities have not released his identity.

Five other people were wounded: a 24-year-old man was shot in the leg, a 24-year-old woman was shot in the arm, a 21-year-old man suffered a graze wound to the head, a 21-year-old man was shot in the leg and a 19-year-old man was shot in the back, police said.
