1 killed, 3 wounded in North Side shooting on Lake Shore Drive: police

CHICAGO (Sun-Times Media Wire) - Four people were wounded — one fatally — in a shooting Thursday on Lake Shore Drive on the North Side near Lincoln Park.

Just before midnight, the four were northbound in a Honda Odyssey in the 2500 block of North Lake Shore Drive when a vehicle drove alongside and someone inside unleashed gunfire, Chicago police said.

The people in the vehicle drove off and the group in the Honda exited on Belmont, police said. They came to a stop in the 3200 block of North Broadway in Lake View.

Authorities were called to a Walgreens parking lot where they found the car riddled with bullets on the driver’s side.

A 20-year-old man was hit in the chest and pronounced dead on the scene, police said. He was identified as Michael Medina of Back of the Yards on the South Side, the Cook County medical examiner’s office said.

A second 20-year-old man was struck in the shoulder and taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center in critical condition, police said. A third man, 26 was taken to the same hospital in critical condition with gunshot wounds to the head and torso.

The fourth man, 22, was hit in the chest and face, police said. He was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in critical condition.

No arrests have been made as Area North detectives are investigating.

Last month, a woman was shot in the hand northbound on North Lake Shore Drive near Maggie Daley Park.
