Man killed in drive-by shooting in Marquette Park on Chicago's Southwest Side

A 20-year-old man was shot dead Sunday in Marquette Park on the Southwest Side.

About 12:15 p.m., Kevon Mitchell was in a vehicle in the 7200 block of South Kedzie Avenue when someone in a dark-colored sedan fired shots, Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said.

Mitchell was struck in the body and died about an hour later at a local hospital, officials said.

An autopsy released Wednesday from the medical examiner’s office ruled Mitchell’s death a homicide.

Area One detectives are investigating.
