CHICAGO — Police say a man was shot and killed during a shootout in a North Side apartment overnight. Investigators are looking for two suspects who fled the area in a vehicle.
Chicago police said a 32-year-old man and two other men became embroiled in an argument in an apartment in the 6400 block of North Richmond around 2:43 a.m. The situation escalated and devolved into an “exchange of gunfire in the apartment,” according to a CPD statement.
The victim, who suffered a gunshot wound to his chest, was pronounced dead at the scene.
A source familiar with the investigation said the men had been drinking before the shooting. Bullet holes riddled the apartment walls and a firearm was recovered at the scene.
An officer at the scene described the suspects as two Black men between 25 and 30 years old. One was tall and skinny with dreadlocks. He wore a blue and black jacket. The other wore a dark jacket.
