The Chicago Sun-Times reported that the first of the two fatalities occurred around 12:2o p.m., at which time a 24-year-old man was shot and killed after firing shots into a business “in the 1900 block of South State Street.” He was taken to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the face and pronounced dead.
ABC 7 reported the second fatality occurred around 5:10 p.m., as a 22-year-old was shot in the neck while riding in a vehicle “in the 2300 block of West Monroe Street.”
The driver of the vehicle in which the 22-year-old was riding “tore through the back lot of South Side Home Depot” trying to escape the attackers. The vehicle stopped in the store’s lumber yard.
The 22-year-old was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. Another vehicle occupant was treated for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.
