ROGERS PARK — Two weeks after 18-year-old Evanston teen Antonio Johnson was killed, a 23-year-old man was shot twice in Rogers Park just blocks away Tuesday night, police said.
Around 8:20 p.m., the man was standing near intersection at Damen and Rogers Avenues (in the 7300 block of North Rogers Avenue/7200 block of North Damen) when someone walked up, pulled out a gun and shot him, according to Officer Janel Sedevic, a Chicago Police spokeswoman.
At the intersection sits corner store Summit Grocery & Deli, facing a block of apartments across the street on Damen.
The man was brought to Saint Francis Hospital in Evanston, Sedevic said, after being shot in his back and his buttocks. Police could not provide his condition but said he was "stable."
Police said the man is a documented gang member.
No one is in custody, Sedevic said.
On March 23, Johnson was killed just blocks away in the 7400 block of North Ridge Boulevard after being chased down adjacent Birchwood Avenue and then executed, police said.
On Wednesday night, Benedictine Sisters of Chicago are holding a vigil to walk what's believed to be the last route taken by Johnson before he was killed in front of their building.
