Man shot dead, another wounded in Logan Square

A man was shot dead, and another was wounded Saturday in Logan Square on the Northwest Side.

The men, 23 and 24, were outside about 7 p.m. in the 1900 block of North Western Avenue when a group of males approached them yelling gang slogans, Chicago police said. The group asked what gang the men were with, and a fight ensued.

During the altercation, one of the males pulled out a gun and fired shots, police said.

Brandon McGhee, 23, was struck in the neck and pronounced dead on the scene, police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said. An autopsy ruled his death a homicide.

The 24-year-old was hit in the arm and was taken to Saints Mary and Elizabeth Medical Center in good condition, police said.

No one is in custody as Area Five detectives investigate.
