Jaron Jackson was going home after visiting his mother when he was shot to death Thursday night at a Pink Line station in the Lawndale neighborhood on the West Side.
About 9:05 p.m., the 21-year-old Jackson was standing outside the Pulaski Pink Line station in the 2000 block of South Pulaski when another man approached him and fired several shots, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
Witnesses said they heard more than a dozen shots fired.
Jackson, whose family said he lived in southwest suburban Shorewood, was shot in the neck and back. He was pronounced dead at the scene 20 minutes later, authorities said.
No one was in custody for the shooting Friday morning, but police were hoping to find a suspect by looking at surveillance tapes from the CTA station.
