CHICAGO — One man was killed and two teenagers were wounded overnight Sunday on the city's South and Southwest Side, police said.

A 26-year-old man died after being stabbed repeatedly at his home in the city's Bronzeville neighborhood, authorities said. Rollins Stamps, of the 4000 block of South Wabash, was pronounced dead at 9:28 p.m. Sunday, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.

Police were called to Stamps' home about 8:40 p.m. Sunday, according to Officer Hector Alfaro, a police spokesman. Stamps was stabbed multiple times after some sort of domestic dispute, Alfaro said.

After the stabbing, Stamps was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he died soon after, authorities said.

A woman is currently in custody in connection with the stabbing, Alfaro said.

Hours later, two teenagers were shot in the city's McKinley Park neighborhood.

About 12:35 a.m., two 17-year-old boys were walking on the sidewalk in the 1700 block of West 38th Street when a gunman walked up to them and opened fire, police said.

One teen was hit in the chin and taken to Stroger Hospital in serious condition, Alfaro said. The other teen was hit in the right ankle and was taken in good condition to Mercy Hospital and Medical Center.

No one is in custody, but police said they believe the shooting was gang-related.

The shootings come after a 14-year-old boy was gunned down Sunday evening about 3 miles away in the city's Pilsen neighborhood.
