Info:

Officials identified two men who were killed last week in a quadruple shooting in the Washington Park neighborhood on the city's South Side.

They were identified as Jawon C. Carter, 24, of the 1400 block of East 65th Street, and Lavelle Cox, 24, of the 4300 block of South Dearborn Street, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.

Just before 2 a.m. Friday, Carter and Cox along with two other men were in the vestibule of the GoLo gas station at 51st Street and Indiana Avenue when someone ran from a nearby car, opened the bulletproof front door and fired more than a dozen shots inside, sources said.

The men had no way to escape the gunfire because the entryway into the convenience store is locked at night.

Cox was shot multiple times and he was pronounced dead inside the vestibule at 2:55 a.m. Friday, according to the medical examiner's office.

Carter also was shot multiple times, and he was pronounced dead at 2:55 a.m. Friday at Stroger Hospital. Their deaths were ruled homicides.

A 25-year-old man was shot in the legs and grazed in the head. He was taken in serious condition to Stroger Hospital. A 64-year-old man who is known in the area as Old Man Bill was shot in the leg, and he was taken to Stroger Hospital.

Old Man Bill knows what's up. He got down and hid in the corner away from the door.

Old man bill was shot in that exact same gas station years before.

It’s in this story about the shooting. https://www.google.com/amp/s/abc7chicago.com/amp/1794122

I think once would be enough for me. I don't think I'd go back there AFTER I WAS SHOT THERE THE FIRST TIME.

How many times has this man been shot?!?
