Someone walked up to Michael Hillard, 49, and shot him in his face just before 9 p.m. Friday in the 4700 block West Jackson. Hillard, who lived in the Humboldt Park neighborhood, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Less than two hours earlier in the Little Village neighborhood, 27-year-old Juan Vargas was shot in the head by a person who approached him on foot and began shooting, police said. Vargas was found about 7:10 p.m. Friday in the 4000 block of West 25th Place and taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he died. He lived in the West Elsdon neighborhood.
The most recent nonfatal shooting happened at 4:38 a.m. Saturday in the Southwest Side Little Village neighborhood, police said. A 42-year-old man was stopped at a red light in the 2600 block of West Cermak when several males approached and fired shots, striking him in the left elbow. He showed up at Saint Anthony Hospital, where he was treated and released.
Just under four hours earlier, a 27-year-old man was wounded in a West Garfield Park neighborhood shooting, police said. He was sitting in a parked vehicle at 12:43 a.m. Saturday in the 4100 block of West Fifth Avenue when someone in a tan-colored minivan fired shots, striking him in the right knee. He took himself to Mount Sinai Hospital, where his condition was stabilized.
More than two hours before that, a man and a woman were wounded in a drive-by shooting Friday night on the West Side. The 36-year-old woman was standing on the sidewalk about 10:25 p.m. in the 3000 block of West Lexington when someone in a green SUV fired shots, striking her in the legs, police said. She was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in serious condition. A 26-year-old man later walked into West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park with a gunshot wound to the upper right arm. He was not with the woman, but told investigators that he was outside in the same block when he heard several gunshots and felt pain. His condition was stabilized.
About 9 p.m. Friday, a 34-year-old man was shot in the Little Village neighborhood. He was walking in the 2600 block of South Central Park when someone fired shots from a black sedan, striking him in the abdomen, police said. He showed up at Stroger Hospital, where his condition was stabilized.
