When Chicago police boarded a CTA bus late Sunday in Englewood, they found a man at the front of the bus with a fatal gunshot wound to the right side of his torso, authorities said.
According to a police report obtained by the Tribune, the shooting occurred at a Shell gas station just behind a bus stop at Garfield Boulevard and South Halsted Street. In a statement, Chicago police said a man in a white SUV had fired at the victim, age 43, while driving past the intersection.
The wounded man then got on the bus just after 10:20 p.m., the report stated. The driver called 911 and met police four blocks south, at 59th and Halsted.
Officers found eight shell casings of different sizes, two live rounds and one bullet at the scene of the shooting, per the police report.
The man was pronounced dead at University of Chicago Medical Center, police said. His identity wasn’t publicly available as of Monday morning as the Wentworth District (2nd) homicide investigation continued.
