Ashton Simpson was inside his home in Auburn Gresham on Sunday night, when he heard the sound of gunshots outside to check. Moments later, he became the second person fatally shot in about two hours in the neighborhood.
Simpson, 36, was inside a building in the 8300 block of South Wood when he heard shots and went outside about 9:10 p.m., according to Chicago Police.
He was then shot in the chest, face and arm, police said.
Simpson, who lived on the same block, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
Less than two hours earlier, Akim Gaddis had been shot to death in the 84oo block of South Loomis, also in Auburn Gresham.
