Deylion Lavell Spencer was killed and two other men were wounded in a Fernwood neighborhood shooting early Tuesday on the Far South Side.

The three men were sitting in a vehicle at 12:58 a.m. in the 200 block of West 107th Street when another man walked up and fired multiple shots into the vehicle, according to Chicago Police.

The victims drove to the 8600 block of South Halsted, where they flagged down an Illinois State Police trooper for help, police said.

The 22-year-old Spencer was shot in the back and was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead at 1:43 a.m., according to police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Spencer, who was known as "DeyDey," lived in the South Side Washington Heights neighborhood. The father of two had attended Bogan High School.

A 24-year-old man suffered gunshot wounds to the arm and abdomen, while a 25-year-old man was shot in the arm, leg and buttocks, police said. They were also taken to Christ Medical Center, where they were listed in serious condition.
