A 26-year-old man was shot multiple times and killed on a sidewalk in Chicago's Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood on the South Side on Sunday night, Chicago police said in reports carried by CBS Chicago and the Chicago Sun-Times. The man was standing on the sidewalk in the 7000 block of South Eberhart Avenue at about 9:40 p.m. on Sunday, October 25, when he was shot.
