Two men were shot to death early Sunday in the Brighton Park neighborhood on the Southwest Side.

The men, both 29, were walking about 1:55 a.m. in the 2400 block of West 47th Place when an eastbound gray Toyota Corolla pulled up and a male shooter got out and opened fire, police said.

The shooter then got back inside the vehicle, which drove off heading east toward Western, police said.

One man was shot in the chest and the other was shot in the head and neck, police said. Both men, Alejandro Arellano and Angel Rosario, were pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

The shooting was believed to be gang-related, police said.

No one is in custody and Area Central detectives were conducing an investigation.
