A toddler and a man were killed and a woman was wounded in a shooting in the Little Village neighborhood Tuesday afternoon, authorities said.
The shooting took place near Ogden and Kostner avenues about 1:30 p.m.
Chicago police said the child was 2 or 3 years old and the man was in his 20s. The woman, also in her 20s, was shot in the abdomen and was in critical condition, according to fire officials.
Police surrounded an older model maroon four-door car in the alley in the 2300 block of South Kostner Avenue. It had come to rest against an iron fence in the alley, its two front doors open.
The three entrances to the alley were blocked off, as were streets around the scene. Neighbors poked their heads from their porches.
No one was in custody, police said.
The toddler was the second child to die Tuesday from Chicago gunfire. Takiya Holmes, 11, died Tuesday morning from wounds suffered in a shooting Saturday.
A second girl wounded over the weekend, Kanari Gentry Bowers, 12, remained in critical condition Tuesday.
