The second man who died after a shooting that also killed Devin Hamb and left three other people wounded Sunday night in the West Englewood neighborhood has been identified as Davon Barrett.

A group of people was sitting on a front porch in the 2000 block of West 68th Place about 11:10 p.m. when someone got out of a vehicle in a nearby vacant lot and opened fire, according to Chicago Police.

Barrett, 38, was shot in the neck, and was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 12:33 a.m. Monday, according to the medical examiner’s office. Barrett lived on the same block where the shooting happened.

A 27-year-old man shot in the back was taken Christ Medical Center; a 17-year-old boy shot in the left leg was taken to St. Bernard Hospital; and a 23-year-old woman shot in the left leg was taken to Stroger Hospital. All their conditions were stabilized, according to police.
