CHICAGO - A man was killed outside a North Side bar and four other people were wounded in separate shootings across Chicago overnight, police said.

Deadly Lincoln Park bar shooting

What we know:

The only fatal shooting happened around 11:43 p.m. Sunday in the 2200 block of North Lincoln Avenue in Lincoln Park.

Police said a fight broke out before someone pulled out a gun and shot a 30-year-old man several times. He was taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center in critical condition, where he later died.

According to the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office, the victim was identified as Malik McCorkle. 

Police recovered a gun at the scene. A suspect is in custody, and charges are pending. Area Three detectives are investigating.

Ald. Timmy Knudsen (43rd Ward) issued a statement in response to the fatal shooting.

"Since earlier this summer, my office has led an aggressive push for further restrictions on late night bars on this stretch of Lincoln Avenue. I am hopeful and confident that the Department of Business Affairs & Consumer Protection will view this homicide as sufficient evidence of the need to support specific restrictions on this stretch," he said.

"Regularly, I speak to business owners on this stretch who agree that additional restrictions will benefit a corridor that has been refreshed with many great new storefronts. They are our partners in this work, as is the Chicago Police Department which has assured us that the 2200 block of Lincoln Avenue will receive additional patrol and a permanent patrol on weekend hours."

"This homicide should have never occurred and I send my deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of the victim."
