He was hit several times and died on the scene. He had lived about a half-mile away, in the 5100 block of South Wabash Avenue.



While the number of homicides this year are on the same pace as last year, the number of people shot and wounded is down by more than a hundred despite a violent weekend that saw 10 people shot at a memorial in the Brighton Park neighborhood Sunday.



As of Monday, at least 1,114 people have been shot in Chicago this year compared with 1,239 this time last year, according to Tribune data.



The Washington Park neighborhood, on the South Side, has logged at least four homicides this year. Last year, there were a total of 12 homicides, according to Tribune data.



At the scene of Monday night's homicide, a young man screamed when a white work van arrived to pick up the body.



Officers moved their cars, revealing Brown's body on the sidewalk. Two workers placed the body in the van and drove off while officers began taking down red and yellow crime scene tape that zigzagged the crime scene.



Family and friends remained huddled together on Garfield Boulevard as more people arrived. A family member there declined to comment.

The shooting was one of three that happened within a two-hour period Monday on the South Side.



• In Gresham about 9:20 p.m., a 28-year-old man was shot in the legs while in the 1600 block of West 81st Street. He took himself to Roseland Community Hospital, where his condition was stabilized.

He was sitting in a vehicle when someone shot him in the head, police said. He was taken in serious condition to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, police said.
