CHICAGO — Two separate shootings within 20 minutes of each other left a man dead and two people wounded in Englewood Tuesday afternoon, police said.

At 4:36 p.m., two men, 24 and 19, were driving in the 900 block of West Garfield Boulevard when a car pulled up and someone inside fired shots, said Officer Thomas Sweeney, a Chicago Police spokesman.

The 24-year-old was shot multiple times in his abdomen and was taken to Stroger Hospital in critical condition before he was pronounced dead, Sweeney said.

The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office identified him as Glenn Wheeler of the 5200 block of South Wood Street.

The 19-year-old was shot in his back and was taken to Stroger Hospital, Sweeney said. Police did not have the man's condition but did say he was stable.

Both men are documented gang members, according to police. No arrests have been made.

Earlier, around 4:15 p.m., a 34-year-old woman was arguing with a man inside a residence in the 5900 block of South Loomis Boulevard when the man pulled out a gun and shot at her, police said.

The man drove her to University of Chicago Medical Center, where her condition stabilized after she was treated for a graze wound in her shoulder, police said.

The man was being questioned by police, but as of Wednesday morning, no charges had been filed.
