A robbery Sunday evening in the Austin neighborhood left a man dead and an 8-year-old boy injured.

The boy, who was in a passing vehicle at the time, suffered gunshot wounds to the leg and hand, police said. The driver of the vehicle took the boy to West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park, where he was listed in good condition.
A police source said the boy is 8 years old.

The pair were working on rehabbing a vacant home when two robbers walked up and ordered them to kneel, according to a police report. One man complied and the robbers took his money and cell phone before striking him with the gun.
