About 4 a.m., the men, ages 20 and 30, were shot when someone walked out of a fast food restaurant and open fired in the 100 block of West Division, according to Chicago Police. The shooter got into a Chevrolet Tahoe and drove away south on Clark Street.
Both men were shot in the back and taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, police said. The 20-year-old died and the older man was in serious condition. The Cook County medical examiner’s office could not immediately confirm the death.
