CHICAGO — A 20-year-old man was killed and two 14-year-old boys were wounded in separate Gage Park shootings since Saturday, according to police.

The 20-year-old was at a party in the 5800 block of South Maplewood Avenue at 12 a.m. Sunday when he got into an argument with a man who grabbed a handgun and shot him in the chest, police said.

He was taken to Holy Cross Hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said.

The man has been identified as Trontriche Weathersby of the 2100 block of West 91st Street, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.

At 4:30 p.m. Saturday, two 14-year-old boys were sitting on a front porch in the 5100 block of South Sawyer Avenue when a man walked up and began yelling gang slogans before firing, police said.

One of the boys was hit in his left leg and the other was hit in his right leg and right arm, police said. They were both taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where their condition was not released but police considered them to be stable.

No arrests have been made in either case, police said.
