A Chicago police SWAT team responded to a shooting Sunday afternoon after a man was fatally shot in the Garfield Park neighborhood.

Jaquantise Spiceson, 30, was walking in the 3800 block of West Arthington Street when four people approached him and opened fire about 4:20 p.m., according to Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

He sustained a gunshot wound to the face and was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead, police said.

The attackers ran into a nearby building. A SWAT team was called to the scene to search for the assailants, but no one was taken into custody, police said.
