Man Fatally Shot in Lawndale Apartment Building

CHICAGO (Sun-Times Media Wire) ― A man who heard a possible intruder in a downstairs apartment unit was fatally shot early Saturday in the Lawndale neighborhood.

Pierre Moore, of 2233 S. Springfield Avenue was fatally shot in his home early Saturday, a spokesman for the Cook County Medical Examiner's office said.

An autopsy Saturday revealed Moore died from a gunshot wound to the neck, the medical examiner's office said. His death has been ruled a homicide.

Moore was in his home in the second floor apartment of the Springfield Avenue apartment building when he heard something coming from a downstairs apartment, which was supposed to be unoccupied, police said.

Moore, 22, went downstairs and knocked on the door of the unit when an unknown man opened the door and shot him in the head.

Moore was pronounced dead on the scene at 5 a.m.

Harrison Area detectives are investigating.
