The shooting happened about 9:20 p.m. in the 6300 block of South Honor, said police News Affairs Officers Ron Gaines.

The men were sitting on a porch when a gunman walked up and fired shots before running away, police said. Brian Cross , 34, was shot multiple times and pronounced dead at 10:03 p.m. at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office.
