A man was killed and another wounded at noon as shooting erupted into a group of people arguing on a street in Gage Park on the Southwest Side.
The group of people began arguing in the 5500 block of South Spaulding Avenue when shots rang out, Chicago police said.
A 20-year-old man was struck in the arm and Antoine Grant, 34, was shot multiple times, police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said. The men were taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital, where Grant died within the hour.
