One person was arrested after two men were shot to death during a robbery Sunday in Chinatown on the South Side.

Huayi Bian, 36, and Weizhong Xiong, 38, were standing in the parking lot of an apartment complex at 2:13 a.m. with a 44-year-old woman when someone walked up and tried to rob them in the 2000 block of South Wells Street, according to Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
