Trayvon Wilson shot to death while washing car behind his home in Gage Park

Trayvon Wilson was washing his car behind his home in the Gage Park neighborhood Saturday evening when someone with a gun shot him multiple times.

The 20-year-old Wilson was washing the car about 7:15 p.m. in an alley in the 5800 block of South Maplewood, authorities said.

That’s when someone came up to him and fired a gun repeatedly, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Wilson, who lived on the same block as the shooting, suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the back, authorities said. He was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 8:41 p.m.
