Man shot to death in Avalon Park

A 35-year-old man was shot to death on a sidewalk in the Avalon Park neighborhood Wednesday night.

Dwan Long was standing on the sidewalk in the 8200 block of South Avalon Avenue when two men walked up on and one of them opened fire about 8:05 p.m., authorities said.

The man fired a volley of shots at Long, police said. Two of those bullets stuck him in the chest.

Long, of the 8200 block of South Langley Avenue, lived about a mile from where he was shot. He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn where he was pronounced dead at 9:01 p.m., according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office.

No one was in custody Thursday morning. Area South detectives were investigating.
