CHICAGO — Two men were killed and three others wounded in shootings Tuesday night and Wednesday.

The most recent homicide occurred about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday when a 20-year-old man was shot in his chest in the Heart of Chicago neighborhood, said Officer Amina Greer, a police spokeswoman.

The man was gunned down by someone in a blue van as he walked along the 2200 block of South Oakley Avenue, Greer said.

Uriel Quinones, of the 2300 block of West 22nd Street, was pronounced dead on the scene at 11:45 p.m. Tuesday, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office.

Twenty minutes earlier, a 53-year-old man was fatally shot in his head in West Garfield Park, Greer said. Police responding to a call of shots fired found the man unresponsive in the 4200 block of West Lake Street.

Michael Sullivan, of the 4300 block of West Maypole Avenue, was pronounced dead on the scene at 11:26 p.m. Tuesday, according to the medical examiner's office.

No one was in custody for either homicide.

In non-fatal shootings:

• An 18-year-old man walked into Our Lady of Resurrection Medical Center early Wednesday with a graze wound in his head, Greer said.

The teen claimed he was shot about 1 a.m. in the 5800 block of West Altgeld Street in Belmont Cragin, but quickly became "uncooperative" with hospital staff and left before police could interview him, cops said.

• About 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, a 20-year-old was shot in his left knee in Englewood, Greer said. The man was being pushed in his wheelchair along the 1100 block of West 58th Street when someone walked up and began shooting.

The man was taken to Saint Bernard Hospital, where his condition had stabilized.

• A 32-year-old man was shot in both arms and a leg in South Shore Tuesday night, Greer said. The man was standing in the 6800 block of South East End Avenue when two men walked up and opened fire about 6 p.m.

The victim was treated at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.

No one was in custody for any of the shootings.

Earlier Tuesday, two men were shot and wounded in East Garfield Park around 2:45 p.m.
