An 18-year-old man who was fatally wounded in a shooting Tuesday morning in the East Chatham neighborhood has been identified.
Shortly after 8 a.m., an 18-year-old man was outside in the 8100 block of South Ellis Avenue when three males got out of a black Dodge Charger and opened fire.
The victim was struck multiple times throughout the body, and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
He was identified as Marquese Simmons of the same block where he was killed, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
