About 9:30 p.m., officers responding to a call of a shooting found 44-year-old Reginald Moore on the ground with a gunshot wound to the upper body, police said. He was taken to Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, where he died, authorities said.

Police said the elder Moore lived in North Chicago; the Lake County coroner’s office listed his last known home address in Waukegan.

Demar Moore, of the 2600 block of Kennedy Drive in North Chicago, was arrested shortly after the shooting, and murder charges were announced Tuesday night. Police didn’t specify if the men were related.

He was jailed on a $3 million bond, according to the Lake County sheriff’s office.
