A 49-year-old man was fatally beaten in the Gage Park neighborhood this weekend and Chicago police are searching for the two men who attacked him with “blunt objects,” officials said.

       Jose Tellez, of the 3500 block of West 58th Street, was identified by the Cook County medical examiner’s office as the 49-year-old who investigators say was attacked just outside his home about 6:30 p.m. Saturday.

       An autopsy was expected to be performed Monday to determine Tellez’s cause and manner of death, although police said he was struck in the head with the blunt objects and suffered head injuries and was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in critical condition.

       He was pronounced dead at the hospital at 10:32 p.m., according to the medical examiner’s office.

       Kellie Bartoli, a spokeswoman for Chicago police, said the police report did not specify what type of blunt object were used. Asked whether Tellez knew his attackers or if there was some argument or interaction before the men began hitting him in the head, Bartoli said “Detectives are still investigating.”

       No arrests had been made as of Monday morning, Bartoli said.
