A manhunt was underway late Saturday for the two suspects who seriously wounded a man and a 3-month-old baby outside a shopping center in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood, police said.

The shooting was reported at around 4:37 p.m. near West 26th Street and South Albany Avenue. According to authorities, the baby and man were inside a vehicle when two men came up in another vehicle, exited and fired shots.

Both men then took off in an unknown direction. The adult victim, a 21-year-old man, sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the body, police said. The baby suffered one gunshot wound to the chest, police said.
