The earliest incident happened around 8:50 p.m. in the 8800 block of South Exchange Avenue, police said.

The man – identified by the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office as Mario Brooks, 26 – was in his car and stopped at a stop sign when another vehicle pulled up alongside him and someone opened fire from the passenger side, police said.

Brooks was shot in the head and initially listed in critical condition.
