A 17-year-old boy walked up to an 18-year-old man with a shotgun Friday night in the Little Village neighborhood, pointed the weapon toward his face and squeezed the trigger, police said.
Within minutes, someone else who had seen the shooting shot the 17-year-old in the head, police said, and both young men shot are in critical condition at Mount Sinai Hospital.
Police said the two were found lying near each other in the 2600 block of South Ridgeway Avenue about 10:10 p.m. Both identify with conflicting gangs and were shot on a street painted with graffiti from those gangs, which use Ridgeway as a border.
Two neighbors said there had been shooting the night before in the same block but nobody was hit.
The two shot on Ridgeway were among 14 people shot since Friday afternoon, two of whom died. A third person was killed in Chicago since yesterday afternoon – a 75-year-old man was found dead with head trauma inside his home about 9:50 p.m. in the 5600 block of South Racine Avenue in the Englewood neighborhood. It's not clear how he died – whether by gunshot or being hit with an object – and the Cook County medical examiner's office would not release the man's name Saturday morning.
Earlier Friday afternoon, a 3-year-old girl alerted neighbors to the shooting of her 23-year-old stepfather at a family home in the Morgan Park neighborhood.
The man was dead from a gunshot wound to the head in the 1100 block of West 111th Place, said Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer Veejay Zala. Police were called to the scene about 3:10 p.m. and found the man dead.
The man was identified as Kyle Hogan of 11800 S. Campbell Avenue, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office. He was declared dead on the scene at 3:40 p.m.
The girl was believed to have been at the home at the time of the shooting, a source said. The man shot to death is not believed to live there, but another relative does. After the shooting, she went next door and told neighbors that the man had been shot.
