It happened on the 2000 block of East Cheltenham Avenue just after 7 p.m. Saturday.
Authorities say the 41-year-old victim never saw it coming.
"He had just parked and was getting out of his car when a gold colored Chevy Trailblazer pulled up next to him. Just as he was getting out, you will see the door open and window shattered, when he was ambushed and shot multiple times," says Inspector D.F. Pace.
The victim was rushed to the hospital where he died.
Police say the alleged gunman stopped a block away, and sat through several cycles of a traffic light before speeding off.
Investigators are now looking at surveillance video, that's believed to have captured the crime.
