Anthony White was killed and another teenager wounded in a shooting Sunday afternoon just a block away from his home in the South Side Park Manor neighborhood.
At 12:13 p.m., the 18-year-old White and a 15-year-old boy were outside in the 7000 block of South Vernon, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
They were approached by two or more people who opened fire, police said.
White was shot in the back and neck, and took himself to St. Bernard Hospital, where he died at 12:34 p.m., according to police and the medical examiner’s office. He lived about a block away in the same neighborhood where he was shot.
The boy suffered a “minor” gunshot wound to the foot, and was taken to University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was in good condition, police said.
