He was in an apartment about 2 a.m. in the 2000 block of East 72nd Place when a man entered through a backdoor and began arguing with him, Chicago police said. The intruder fired and hit the man several times in the chest. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The shooter fled the apartment and was not arrested.

The men, 18 and 25, were standing on a sidewalk about 6:30 p.m. in the 8600 block of South State Street when someone in a dark vehicle drove up and someone inside opened gunfire, police said.
