A 14-year-old boy was gunned down shortly after 3 p.m. Saturday in the Austin neighborhood on the West Side. Laquan Allen was on the sidewalk in the 4900 block of West Hubbard when someone fired shots from a passing vehicle, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner's office. Allen suffered a gunshot wound to the buttocks and was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 3:34 p.m. He lived in the West Humboldt Park neighborhood.

Another person was killed just before 5 p.m. Friday in the West Englewood neighborhood on the South Side. Tomorry Hill, 20, was walking in the 6600 block of South Laflin when a vehicle pulled up and someone inside shot him repeatedly, authorities said. Hill, who lived in the Back of the Yards neighborhood, died at 5:39 p.m. at Stroger Hospital.

The most recent nonfatal shooting happened Sunday afternoon in the Little Village neighborhood on the Southwest Side. Two men, ages 25 and 29, were in the 4100 block of West 25th Street at 12:46 p.m. when someone walked up and fired multiple shots, police said. The younger man was shot in the hand and abdomen, and the older man was shot in the abdomen. Both were taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in fair condition.

About an hour earlier, a 16-year-old boy was shot four times in the West Side Austin neighborhood. He was walking on the sidewalk in the 200 block of South Lotus at 11:28 a.m. when two males emerged from an alley, police said. One of the males was armed with a handgun and started shooting.
