A 25-year-old man was shot to death Tuesday afternoon in the Uptown neighborhood on the North Side.

Gregory Sims got into an argument in the 4500 block of North Kenmore about 2:45 p.m. with a man who pulled out a gun and shot him five times in the chest and twice in the right leg, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
