CHICAGO — Two men were killed and at least six wounded in shootings and stabbings Monday.
The most recent homicide happened about 5:15 p.m. when a 19-year-old man was shot while riding in a car in Roseland, said Officer Michael Sullivan, a police spokesman.
The victim was with three other passengers in the 11300 block of South Edbrooke Avenue when a fight broke out. One of the passengers shot the victim in the back, before he exited the car and shot the victim again — this time in the abdomen, Sullivan said.
Jeremy Bafunsho, 19, was rushed to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead at 6:38 p.m., according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office.
No one is in custody.
Earlier Monday, 20-year-old Mensa Kifle was fatally shot during a gang altercation outside Lickity Split Custard Shop in Edgewater. A 24-year-old man was also wounded during the shooting.
