Father, 51, Fatally Shot

(CBS) -- Friends and loved ones of a Morgan Park man are trying to make sense of his murder.

Fifty-one-year-old Paul King was shot in the back and chest about a block away from where he almost lost a 7-year-old son to gun violence in May.

King was found lying on the sidewalk in the 1300 block of west 108th Place early Thursday. He was dead at the scene and lived on the same block.

Friends say he was a nice, caring person and did not deserve to die.

"He was my friend, and if I needed him to do something he'd do it, and that goes for anybody in the neighborhood," Lotoya Council said Thursday.
