Quenten Wright was shoveling snow in front of his home in the Far South Side Roseland neighborhood Monday morning when he was fatally shot.
Neighbors said the 53-year-old Wright was shoveling in the 11400 block of South King Drive about 11:45 a.m. when a man approached and tried to rob him. The robber then shot Wright in the head before running off.
Officers responding to a call of a person down found Wright on the ground near his home with a gunshot wound to the head and gunshot wounds to each arm, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
Wright was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he died about four hours later at 3:31 p.m., authorities said.
