Rakeem Dushon Simmons died at a hospital after being shot Monday morning in the South Shore neighborhood.
A family member said Simmons had walked to the store for coffee and a newspaper, as he did every morning, when he was attacked.
The 25-year-old was found by officers responding about 10 a.m. to a call of a person shot in the 6800 block of South Harper, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
Simmons, who lived in the Grand Crossing neighborhood on the South Side, had been shot in the lower back, police said.
He was taken in critical condition to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he died at 10:57 a.m., authorities said.
Area Central detectives are investigating, and no one is in custody.
A fundraiser to help the family with memorial expenses has been set up on Facebook.
