In the first attack, a man was shot and killed Friday morning as he sat in his truck in West Englewood after dropping off his son at day care, according to police and a friend.



"I jumped up when I heard the gunshots and came to the window," said the friend, Renee Ballard, who lives in the 7300 block of South Paulina Street where the shooting occurred about 9:20 a.m. "I saw his car window shot up and driver door open."



Ballard said her daughter called 911 as Ballard went to see if the man was OK. She said he was breathing heavily and couldn't talk. "He didn't say anything," she said. "He couldn't say anything."



Authorities did not identify the victim, but Ballard said his name was Orlando Porter and he was 26.



Police say a dark sedan pulled up to the truck and someone fired, hitting the victim several times. He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead, according to police.



Ballard said Porter would come over to her house every day after dropping his son off. He often drove her around on errands.



"If you were down, he always made you smile or laugh," said Ballard, who has been trying to move out of her West Englewood home.
