CHICAGO — Violence on the city's South and West sides has left nine dead since Friday afternoon, with seven people killed on Saturday alone — one of the bloodiest days Chicago has seen in more than a year.

On Saturday, two double shootings and a stabbing left seven people dead.

A family argument resulted in the stabbing death of a 32-year-old man Saturday night in his South Shore home, police said. 

Police said the man, identified by the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office as Willie Wilson, was stabbed sometime before midnight after getting into an fight with a relative in his home in the 2500 block of East 73rd Street.

About two hours earlier, a 38-year-old man was shot to death in an abandoned building in Englewood.
