CHICAGO (WLS) -- Ten people were shot, one fatally, in Chicago on Tuesday, with one shooting take place hours after a rally in Englewood.

Three men were standing outside a vehicle on the street in the 5700-block of South Aberdeen Street at about 9:35 p.m. when police said someone inside a dark-colored car pulled up and fired several shots.

Police said one of the victims, a 32-year-old man was hit in the head and abdomen and was taken to the University of Chicago. The other two, a 53-year-old was shot several times in his lower body and 44-year-old man was hit in his thigh. Both were taken to Stroger Hospital.

Community and victim advocate, Andrew Holmes is calling for those responsible to come forward.

"Let's put a stop and an end to this gun violence," Holmes said. "This is a cycle from last year, the year before last. Just ongoing and it doesn't stop."

The shooting happened a couple miles away from a community rally to stop the violence in the neighborhood. That rally was in response to a Saturday shooting during a baby shower that injured six people, including two young children.

Both the Saturday shooting and the one on South Aberdeen are still under investigation.
