A 52-year-old man was killed in a domestic-related shooting Monday afternoon in the West Side Austin neighborhood.

Oscar L. Clay got into an argument with a 27-year-old man in the 1700 block of North Narragansett at 1:32 p.m. when the younger man pulled out a handgun and shot him, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Clay, who lived in the same block, was pronounced dead at the scene at 1:45 p.m., according to police and the medical examiner’s office. An autopsy Tuesday found he died of multiple gunshot wounds, and his death was ruled a homicide.

The shooter was not in custody Monday evening, police said.
