A 29-year-old man died early Thursday, two weeks after he was shot in the Little Village neighborhood on the Southwest Side.

On Oct. 1 at 7:18 a.m., Tony Hussaini, 29, was standing on the street, talking to a 30-year-old woman inside a vehicle in the 2500 block of South Sacramento, according to Chicago Police. A second vehicle pulled up and someone inside fired shots.

Hussaini and the woman took themselves to Mount Sinai Hospital, both with gunshot wounds to the chest and arm, police said. They were both initially listed in critical condition.

Hussaini, of the 2200 block of South Homan Avenue, was pronounced dead 3:25 a.m. Thursday, and an autopsy showed he died of complications from the gunshot wounds. His death was ruled a homicide, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
