A 16-year-old boy died Friday night more than eight months after he was wounded in an Englewood neighborhood shooting, according to authorities.

Corey Strother Jr., of the 5900 block of South Princeton Avenue, was shot on the same block where he lived on Dec. 22, according to police. He was 15 at the time he was shot.

He was hit in the back and right side of his neck and taken to Stroger Hospital in critical condition, police said.

Strother was 16 when he died at Lurie Children’s Hospital about 11:15 p.m. Friday. An autopsy is scheduled.
