A 24-year-old man was shot and killed while walking to work on Chicago's Northwest Side Friday morning.
The victim was walking in the 3900 block of North Pittsburgh Avenue around 7 a.m. when an unknown offender shot him in the chest, Chicago police said. He was taken to Loyola Hospital in critical condition and later died.
In surveillance video posted on social media, a person in dark clothing was seen running southbound on Pittsburgh Avenue.
A woman, who asked she not be identified, told CBS 2 she heard a gunshot and ran to help the man who was on the sidewalk.
"I just sprung into action," she said.
She added she called 911 and "took my sweatshirt off that I was wearing and started to apply pressure immediately and waited for an ambulance to arrive. I just tried to interact with him, talk to him. Keep him awake."
The woman said the victim said he was walking to work. She later learned he died and has since been in touch with his family. She did not previously know him.
"I'm so sorry that he didn't make it and I wish he would have, to see your children grow," she said, adding she was "trying to keep him alive for his kids."
A police source said the victim may have had some cash taken from him. A bag that he was carrying was left behind.

Bet he votes dem again. Even when dems kill ya you vote dem every time.
God bless the woman who tried to help the victim.
May the perp burn in Hell. I’d strap the bastard to a large
anthill myself if given the chance.
A father trying to provide for his kids and a piece of scum kills him for a few lousy dollars.
May God keep him close, bless his family, and punish the murderer.
As the nation's government and public schools try to remove God from our people's lives... they open the door to Satan and we now see so many of his animals running loose in the world.
This seems like it’s just another democrat cannibal on the hunt for human flesh.
The Pygmy cannibal figured he could get some succulent roast leg of man, except an intruder appeared on the scene to foil the chance to feast.
Another day in the neighborhood of ChiCongo. Nothing to see here folks, move along. /spit
Sad
I don’t know the ethnicity of the perpetrator of this crime, but I’m going to venture a guess it wasn’t a Caucasian, Iowa farm boy.
It’s safe to speculate the shooter is father to a host of bastards
I have not been to Chicago for a while, but that used to be pretty safe area?!
The low life scum probably never had a job for over a week but killed a man who was going to work. Sad country we live in these days.
In all seriousness, prayers to his family. Prayers also to the lady who was trying to save him...
Gun control works.
that’s actually in norridge. Norridge and Harwood Heights are villages surrounded by the city of Chicago.
Yes. But the criminals hijack cars and travel all over the city to rob and pillage. Especially with a focus on the once safer areas (i.e. European peoples) where there’s less chance of fighting back and more goods to steal. With less police protection given most patrol in the worse areas, and with a declining police force, it will only get worth. Chicago is in a death spiral. No kidding.
Probably payback for something, real or imagined.
The woman not wanting to be identified makes me think it’s probably not the nicest of neighborhoods.
This sounds like black on black crime.
