A 21-year-old man was fatally wounded by gunfire in what police say seemed like a drug-related confrontation Monday morning in the West Elsdon neighborhood on the Southwest Side.

A male shot Adrien Campos in the neck as he was walking at 2:52 a.m. in the 5500 block of South Kedvale, according to Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

The shooting unfolded during a possible “narcotics-related” exchange that was botched, a police source said.

Campos, who lived in the neighborhood, was taken to Christ Medical Center in critical condition, authorities said. He died the next day at 2 p.m.

The male shooter is not in custody, police said. Area Central detectives are investigating the homicide.
