Officers responding to a call of a person shot about 2:30 a.m. found 33-year-old Deandre Robinson lying face down on the sidewalk in the 1000 block of North Lawndale in the Humboldt Park neighborhood on the West Side. Robinson, who lived in the Austin neighborhood, was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 3:05 a.m., according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
Less than an hour earlier, 25-year-old Joseph Henderson was gunned down in the North Lawndale neighborhood on the Southwest Side.

More than 12 hours earlier, two men were wounded in a Marquette Park neighborhood drive-by shooting on the Southwest Side. The men, ages 20 and 32, were standing outside about 12:20 a.m. when someone fired shots from a gray Nissan driving north in the 6400 block of South Talman, police said.
