1 Dead, 9 Wounded In Fourth of July Weekend Shootings

(STMW) -- A man was killed and nine others were wounded in shootings across Chicago since Friday evening at the start of the Fourth of July holiday weekend.

The fatal attack also left another man wounded early Saturday in the East Garfield Park neighborhood on the West Side, according to Chicago Police.

A man was standing outside an auto repair shop about 3:30 a.m. in the 700 block of North California Avenue when a gunman came out of an alley and opened fire, a police source said. The man was shot in the neck and pronounced dead at the scene.

Family members identified him as 31-year-old Hector Badillo Jr. The Cook County medical examiner's office could not immediately provide more information.

A 44-year-old man was also wounded in the shooting. He was in a car when a bullet came through the door, striking him in the left leg, police said. His was taken to Stroger Hospital where his condition stabilized.

The most recent nonfatal shooting happened early Saturday in the Heart of Chicago neighborhood. About 3:40 a.m., someone in a dark colored vehicle passing in the 2200 block of West 18th Place shot a 23-year-old man in the leg, police said. He was taken to Stroger Hospital, where his condition was stabilized.

A couple hours earlier, a 27-year-old man was shot in the South Side Englewood neighborhood.

Late Friday, a 49-year-old man was shot in the Lawndale neighborhood on the West Side. About 11:30 p.m., he was reaching into his parked vehicle in the 4200 block of West Cermak when he heard gunfire followed by a vehicle speeding away and realized he was shot in the left arm, police said. He took himself to Mount Sinai Hospital where he was listed in good condition.

A 33-year-old man was shot less than an hour earlier while he was walking in the South Shore neighborhood.
