One man was killed and another critically wounded in a shooting early Sunday in the Loop.

They were arguing with another man about 12:05 a.m. outside of a bar, 2Twenty2 Tavern, in the 200 block of South Wabash Avenue when the shooter pulled out a handgun and fired four rounds, according to Chicago police and a witness at the scene.

The shooter was last seen going southbound on Wabash with a woman dressed in all pink.

Ronald Thomas, 40, was shot in the back and shoulder and was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead, police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said.

The other man, 37, was shot in the chest and transported to Stroger Hospital, where he was listed in critical condition, police said.

No one was in custody. Detectives are investigating.
