An autopsy was scheduled Friday for a cleaning employee who died days after he was shot on his way home from work early Saturday in the Little Village neighborhood.
Armando Viveros Cortes, 35, was among a group of four employees in a vehicle returning home from work around 2:40 a.m. Saturday in the 2400 block of South Central Park Avenue when gunfire rang out and he was struck in the head, Chicago police said.
Viveros Cortes' co-workers, who initially thought the blasts were fireworks, then drove to the Ogden District police station and honked their horn until officers came outside to assist, according to a police report obtained by the Sun-Times.
The victim, who was a backseat passenger, was then taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead Wednesday at 3:03 p.m., according to police and the Cook County medical examiner's office.
At least 27 shell casings and seven 9 mm casings were found at the scene, according to the police report.
Area 4 detectives were investigating.
