Darius Edwards died several hours after being shot early Saturday in an Austin neighborhood drive-by attack on the West Side.
The 28-year-old Edwards was walking through an alley at 12:07 a.m. when a maroon van drove up in the 400 block of South Lotus, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
Someone inside the van fired shots and Edwards was struck in the groin. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he died at 11:01 a.m. the same day, authorities said. He lived about a block away from where he was shot.
