A 25-year-old man fatally shot in the neck in the 2900 block of North Wolcott Avenue.

A 25-year-old man was killed in a shootout late Wednesday in Lake View on the North Side.

A 44-year-old man was sitting in the steps of his home about 11:15 p.m. in the 2900 block of North Wolcott Avenue, when he heard a loud noise coming from the street, Chicago police said.

The man walked towards the noise and saw two males under a vehicle, police said.

The males crawled out from beneath the vehicle and pulled out their handguns before firing shots, police said.
