CHICAGO BOXER ED BROWN DIES AFTER BEING SHOT

Chicago boxer Ed Brown, 25, died a day after he was shot in the head, his longtime coach confirmed Sunday afternoon.

Brown and a 19-year-old woman, who was also wounded and in good condition, were sitting in a parked vehicle about 1:10 a.m. in the 3200 block of West Warren Boulevard in the city's East Garfield Park neighborhood when a silver vehicle pulled up and someone inside shot at them, Chicago police said.

Brown was shot multiple times, including in the head, and the woman was struck in the left leg, police said. Both were taken to Mount Sinai Hospital.

In 2009, ABC7 profiled Brown when he was 17 years old and considered one of the best boxers in Chicago and a candidate for the 2012 Olympics team. His mother was killed in the 2003 E2 nightclub stampede.
