A 6-month-old boy was grazed in the cheek by gunfire that also killed a man as they drove Wednesday morning in the Heart of Chicago neighborhood, officials said.
Around 10:45 a.m., a 35-year-old man and the boy were northbound in the 2400 block of South Oakley Avenue when a blue vehicle approached and someone inside opened fire and struck them both, according to Chicago Police.
The child was taken to Stroger Hospital with a graze wound to his cheek, police said. He was listed in good condition.
The man, who was driving, was shot multiple times in the head and body and he was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
He crashed into two parked vehicles shortly after the shooting, officials said.
The blue vehicle fled south on Oakley Avenue, authorities said.
No one was in custody.
