Some area residents appear to be unhappy that the car the men were shot in was moved by police, apparently with the bodies still inside.
The three were in a dark car heading southbound about 2:35 a.m Sunday in the 500 block of North Avers when shots were fired from the sidewalk, police said.
The driver, a 32-year-old man, and the front-seat passenger, a man whose age wasn't immediately available, were both shot multiple times and pronounced dead at the scene.
Chicago Police released a statement saying "From time to time, depending on the unique circumstances of the death, bodies may be left in vehicles and removed in private area at the ME'S office. This would be done to protect the integrity of the crime scene (the car) while at the same time preserving the dignity of the deceased by handling their bodies in a private area rather than on the street in full view of onlookers.
CPD is sensitive to the handling of bodies in public, and detective bureau has implemented procedures to minimize any community concerns that may arise from the manner in which crime scenes are processed."
The shooting, meanwhile, remains under investigation.
