Police said an unidentified male believed to be in his 20s or 30s was found unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds in an alley in the 1600 block of South Homan Avenue. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition and was later pronounced dead.

Minutes later, at around 6:10 a.m., a 31-year-old man was fatally shot in the 4500 block of South Wolcott Avenue. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the head and was pronounced dead at Stroger Hospital.

Police said no one is in custody stemming from either shooting.

A 15-year-old boy was also shot over the weekend as he rode in a vehicle in the 100 block of West 27th Street. He was a passenger in a vehicle at around 1:45 a.m. Saturday when someone inside a gray sedan opened fire, striking the boy in the left hand. He was treated at a hospital and was listed in good condition.
