At least two people were shot, one fatally, in Chicago on Saturday.

At 12:29 p.m., 55-year-old Anthony J. Adams died after being gunned down during an argument in the South Chicago neighborhood, according to Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Adams was sparring with a man over garbage inside a hallway in the 7900 block of South Kingston Avenue, police said. The other man left to get a handgun from his apartment and fired a bullet into Adams’ head, killing him. The shooter was arrested, and charges are pending.
