Detectives are questioning a person of interest in connection with the fatal shooting of a 21-year-old man last weekend in the Ravenswood neighborhood.
The shooting happened about 6:30 p.m. Sunday in the 2200 block of West Winnemac, police said.
A witness saw Dushanti Hassell in an alley with several other people when gunshots rang out, according to police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
