A 39-year-old Evanston man was shot to death late Monday in a gangway in the 6400 block of North Rockwell Street in West Rogers Park.

Shot in the neck, Johan Jean was found around 11 p.m. and pronounced dead soon after at St. Francis Hospital in Evanston, according to the police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

The shooting stemmed from a dispute between two women, according to a source who said one of them has a child with the man and the other was his girlfriend. Both women were armed, and the man was shot during the argument.

Neighbors reported hearing between four and five gunshots.

No one has been charged.
