Four people were shot and killed Friday night and Saturday morning, and a fifth person who may have been dead for weeks was found with gunshot wounds.
At least ten others were wounded by gunfire in shootings from the Uptown neighborhood south to the Chatham neighborhood, police said.
In addition to the shootings a man was stabbed to death on the Southwest Side about 12:45 a.m. Saturday.
The sixth homicide of the night - a 29-year-old man found dead inside his car with a gunshot wound to the head - drew a crowd from the neighboring Wentworth Gardens apartment complex at 37th and Wells streets, two blocks south of U.S. Cellular Field.
At one point, cars from the Englewood police district came north to assist with crime scene security. At least 14 cars, most marked, sat near the scrime scene early Saturday morning.
The dead man lived nearby, and his family lingered at the scene.
Another man was found shot to death in the 6100 block of South Morgan Street in the Englewood neighborhood.
The violence began Friday night with a pair of shootings that left five people wounded and one dead. At least two of the five survivors are still in critical condition, police said.
