A man is dead after Chicago police officers found him in a sport-utility vehicle with a gunshot wound to the head on the city's Southeast Side early Sunday.

At 12:34 a.m., police were called to a crash in the 10100 block of South Avenue M — and found a silver sport-utility vehicle turned on its side. The vehicle had hit multiple unoccupied parked cars, police said.
