Fifteen minutes earlier, a 23-year-old man was shot to death in an apartment in the O’Hare neighborhood on the Northwest Side.

The man was shot several times about 12:45 a.m. following an altercation with another man, 22, inside an apartment complex in the 8500 block of West Bryn Mawr, according to police at the scene.

He was pronounced dead at the scene and the other man was taken into custody, police said. The deceased man’s identity was also not released early Friday.
