What police say
Officers said they found the victim on the 3900 block of West Flournoy Street and rushed him to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. According to police, the shooting occurred around 12:45 p.m., and the man had suffered multiple gunshot wounds. No one is in custody, and Area 4 detectives are leading the investigation, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
Another deadly incident on the same block
The same stretch of West Flournoy has already seen deadly violence this year. A May 14 West Flournoy shooting left a 54-year-old man dead, Hoodline reported. That earlier killing prompted a police canvass and heightened concern among neighbors about recurring violence on the block.
Citywide context
The killing comes as Chicago overall has seen progress in reducing gun violence compared with the worst years of the pandemic. Citywide trends show declines in homicides and shootings compared with the pandemic-era spikes. ABC7 Chicago reported that the city was on pace to finish 2025 with the fewest number of homicides in at least a decade, even as isolated blocks like West Flournoy still experience deadly incidents.
How to help
Police are asking anyone with information or video related to the shooting to contact Area 4 detectives. They advise calling 911 for emergencies or using 311 for non-emergency tips. The Chicago Police Department’s victim information notice lists Area 4 contact lines and guidance for reporting tips and obtaining case information, according to the Chicago Police Department.
