Two men were fatally wounded within minutes of each other Saturday afternoon on the West Side in separate attacks in the Pilsen and Homan Square neighborhoods, Chicago police said.
The latest homicide happened about 2 p.m. in the Pilsen neighborhood in the 900 block of West 19th Street.
Police said a still-unidentified 47-year-old man suffered a gunshot wound to the abdomen, and was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
About 15 minutes earlier, a 22-year-old man was shot in the head in the 3800 block of West Roosevelt Road.
Police said he was standing on the corner when someone approached on foot and shot him. The unidentified man was taken in critical condition to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he later was pronounced dead.
No arrests were made.
