Robert Parra died Tuesday, three days after he and another man were shot early Saturday in the Albany Park neighborhood on the Northwest Side.

The 23-year-old Parra was standing outside about 3 a.m. in the 3400 block of West Lawrence when someone got out of a vehicle on the block, pulled a gun and shot him in the head, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner's office.

He was taken to Presence Saint Frances Hospital in Evanston, police said. Parra, of the 2400 block of South Albany Avenue, was pronounced dead there at 2:48 a.m. Tuesday, according to the medical examiner's office.

An autopsy Wednesday found he died of a gunshot wound to the head and his death was ruled a homicide, according to the medical examiner's office.

Responding officers also found a highly intoxicated 28-year-old man sleeping in a doorway with a gunshot wound to the leg, police said. He was also taken to Saint Francis in serious condition.
