Seven people were shot, one of them fatally, Wednesday in Chicago, including a man who was found fatally shot in Riverdale on the Far South Side.
Officers responded to a ShotSpotter alert about 11:20 p.m. and, with help from a police helicopter, found a man unresponsive near a parking lot in the 300 block of East 133rd Street, Chicago police said. The man was shot in the face, back and leg. Dion Hartwell Jr., of West Pullman, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
In non-fatal shootings, a 20-year-old woman was shot inside a home in Austin on the West Side. She told officers she was inside a home about 11:30 p.m. in the 4900 block of West Augusta Boulevard when she got into an argument with a man she knew, police said. He then shot her in the abdomen. She was taken to Stroger Hospital in fair condition. The man was not in custody.
