Three men were killed and at least eight other people — including a 15-year-old boy and 16-year-old girl — were wounded in shootings Monday across Chicago.

Most recently, one man was killed and two others were injured in a Noble Square neighborhood shooting on the Near West Side, police said.

The 26-year-old man was standing with two other men in the 1500 block of West Walton shortly after 11 p.m. when another male walked up and fired shots, according to Chicago Police.

He suffered gunshot wounds to the chest and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

The two other men, ages 19 and 20, were also injured in the shooting and drove themselves to Stroger Hospital, police said. The younger man was shot in the head and listed in serious condition, while the older man was shot in the arm and had his condition stabilized.

Less than 30 minutes earlier, a man was shot to death in the Irving Park neighborhood on the Northwest Side, police said.

The man was standing outside in the 4300 block of North Elston about 10:50 p.m. when he was approached by another male who pulled out a gun and opened fire, police said.

The man, whose exact age was not known, was found lying on the sidewalk with a gunshot wound to the head, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police said a suspect was in custody early Tuesday.

About 8:35 p.m., a man was shot to death on an I-57 ramp in the Morgan Park neighborhood on the Far South Side, police said.

The 37-year-old was driving a silver van in the 11000 block of South Hamlet near the I-57 on-ramp when someone fired shots, police said.

The van continued north onto I-57 before coming to a stop near 108th Street, police said. The man was pronounced dead at the scene with a gunshot wound to the head.

The Cook County medical examiner’s office could not immediately confirm any of the fatalities early Tuesday.

The most recent nonfatal shooting left a 16-year-old girl wounded Monday night in the North Lawndale neighborhood on the West Side.

The teenager was riding a bicycle about 7:20 p.m. in the 1300 block of South Independence when a male walked up and fired shots in her direction, police said. She was shot in the chest and taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where her condition was stabilized.

About an hour earlier, a 15-year-old boy was shot in the Austin neighborhood on the West Side.
