* Rogers Park Man Shot

STNG Reports:

A 21-year-old man shot multiple times on a North Side Rogers Park neighborhood street early Friday is hospitalized in critical condition, police said.

Milton Ervin, whose last known address was in the area of Rogers Park, was at St. Francis Hospital in Evanston in surgery suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, according to Rogers Park District police Capt. Robert Whalen.

Ervin was shot in the abdomen, upper right arm, lower back and left buttocks, Whalen said.

Ervin was being uncooperative with police on the details of the shooting but police believe it occurred about 4:15 a.m. 7053 N. Ravenswood Ave., the captain said.

Police became aware of the shooting when a neighbor called to report a burglary in progress when Ervin, after he was shot, ran to a second floor vacant apartment of the building on Ravenswood and broke in. When officers arrived, they heard him yelling from the window that he'd been shot.

No one else was injured and it was unknown how many suspects are being sought.

A motive has not been determined and no arrests had been made as of late Friday morning.

Belmont Area detectives are investigating.
