Early Sunday morning chaos erupted in a parking lot on Chicago's Northwest Side, where a man was left critically wounded by gunfire. The 28-year-old victim was discovered with multiple gunshot wounds in Logan Square, NBC Chicago reported. Chicago Police Department officers responded to the scene in the 2000 block of North Milwaukee Avenue around 3:17 a.m. after receiving reports of a person shot.

The injured man was found lying in the Walgreens parking lot and immediately transported to Illinois Masonic Hospital, where he remains in critical condition. Despite the swift reaction to tend to the victim, authorities have yet to apprehend a suspect. Police are actively trying to piece together the events that led to the shooting, according to a statement obtained by NBC Chicago.

Area Five detectives have taken the helm of the investigation, as citywide concern over gun violence continues to mount. The prevalence of such incidents has become a grim routine for residents and law enforcement alike.

Witnesses or individuals with information have not come forward as of this report. The lack of immediate leads has left detectives to slowly unfold the mystery behind the crime. Anyone with knowledge of the shooting is encouraged to contact Chicago police. In a climate of reticence and fear, breaking through the silence is imperative to find those responsible and to deliver justice, as mentioned by ABC7 Chicago in a detailed report of the incident.
