David Marin man was shot to death Friday night in the Brighton Park neighborhood on the Southwest Side.

The 26-year-old was standing on the sidewalk about 10:20 p.m. in the 4600 block of South Washtenaw, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

A silver SUV went past and someone inside fired shots at him, police said.

Marin, who lived in the Marquette Park neighborhood, was struck several times and was pronounced dead at the scene, authorities said.

An autopsy showed he died of multiple gunshot wounds.

Family members said Marin, a father of one, had moved to Colorao to get away from the violence in the city, but after returning for a family event, had moved back was living in the suburbs. He had come into the city to get a haircut the night he was killed.
