Decomposed Body Of Shooting Victim Found In West Englewood
CHICAGO (STMW) -- The body of a teenage boy was found decomposed with a gunshot wound to the head Thursday morning behind an abandoned house in the West Englewood neighborhood.
Seventeen-year-old Darryl Green, of the 6400 block of South Wolcott Avenue, was discovered about 11 a.m. in the 6500 block of South Damen Avenue, authorities said.

An autopsy was scheduled for Friday. Area South detectives are investigating.
