A man was shot and killed late Sunday night near a popular bar area of Chicago’s Lincoln Park, with police still on the scene early Monday morning collecting evidence and one person in custody.
According to police, the shooting unfolded about 11:43 p.m. in the 2200 block of North Lincoln Avenue near the intersection of Lincoln and Webster. Last month, a shooting that stemmed from a fight took place blocks away, at Lincoln and Belden Avenues as a group was leaving a nearby bar.
Sunday night’s shooting also stemmed from a fight, police said, after someone took out a gun during a physical altercation. That person then fired multiple shots at a 30-year-old man, who was transported to a nearby hospital in critical condition.
The man was later pronounced dead, police said.
Photos and video from the scene showed lines of police tape covering streets and blocking off roads, bars and restaurants near Lincoln and Webster. More than 20 evidence markers — typically placed near shell casings — could be seen.
A gun was recovered, police said. One person was in custody, and charges were pending.
In early June, 43rd Ward Ald. Timmy Knudsen wrote a letter to neighbors after a shooting in the same area left one person in critical condition.
“For several years, my office has been in contact with the City’s Business Affairs and Consumer Protection Department (BACP) and CPD related to this corridor, specifically to advocate for stricter rules on nightlife,” the letter said. “On this stretch, there are a few businesses about which we consistently receive noise, cleanliness and safety complaints. Adjacent businesses and residents have called for a reevaluation of what is permitted along this corridor, and they have been partners in this ongoing advocacy.”
Knudsen’s letter went on to say that his office was urging the city to allow him to “set new rules” along a stretch of businesses near Lincoln and Belden.
Knudsen’s office did not immediately respond to NBC Chicago’s request for comment.
No further details about either shooting were provided. This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
