A man was killed and three others were wounded Sunday in Humboldt Park on the West Side.

The men were arguing with a group about 12:04 a.m. in the 2600 block of West Potomac Avenue when they were shot, Chicago police said.

Alexis Perez, 41, was shot multiple times and pronounced dead at the scene, police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said. He lived in Humboldt Park.

An autopsy conducted Sunday confirmed Perez died of his gunshot wounds, the medical examiner’s office said. His death was ruled a homicide.

Two other men, 23 and 21, both went to Stroger Hospital in good condition, police said. The older man was shot in the knee and hip. The younger man was shot in both legs.

A fourth man, 34, was shot in his legs and arms, police said. He was treated and released from Mount Sinai Hospital.
