Authorities say a 17-year-old Chicago boy who was shot on his way to school has died of his wounds.

The victim, Martel Barett, was shot Monday morning near 67th St. and Damen Ave. on the South Side's West Englewood neighborhood.

The Cook County Medical Examiner's office says Barrett died late Monday afternoon at Advocate Christ Medical Center in suburban Oak Lawn.

Family members say Barrett was a junior at Dyett High School.

Barrett is the second student from Dyett to be shot this year.

Corey Harris, a basketball player at Dyett, was shot to death by a police officer last month.
