The shooting occurred just after 9:30 p.m. in the 3900 block of Oswego Ave.

Upon arrival, rescue crews located a male suffering from a gunshot wound and pronounced him dead on the scene.

At this time, there is no known suspect or motive in the shooting.

The victim's name has not been released.  However, neighbors said he was a husband and father of a young child.
