A 50-year-old was killed in a Thursday night home invasion on the West Side.
Two men knocked on the door of a residence in the 1600 block of South Central Park Avenue looking for a girl inside about 8:15 p.m., police said.
Elijah Johnson, 50, answered the door and got into a fight when the two men tried to force their way inside, authorities said.
Police said one of the men then shot Johnson in the chest before they ran away.
Johnson, of the 400 block of Stonewater Lane in Oswego, died at Mount Sinai Hospital, according to the medical examiner’s office.
Area Central detectives investigate.
