CHICAGO -- A 26-year-old man was fatally shot early Friday while standing on a Ukrainian Village street corner just blocks from busy Division Street bars.
David Valentin, 26, of 2110 W. Division St., was shot at 1936 W. Crystal St. and was pronounced dead at 1:32 a.m. at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County, said the Cook County Medical Examiner.
Somebody inside a white SUV opened fire on a group of people standing in the street just before 1 a.m. and Valentin was struck in the chest, police said. An autopsy is scheduled for later Friday.
