Three shootings since Friday night have left a 21-year-old man dead and three people hurt, Chicago police said.
The fatal shooting happened about 8:30 p.m., Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer Ron Gaines said.
Officers found the man in a hallway of a three-story apartment building in the 3900 block of North Central Avenue, in the Northwest Side's Portage Park neighborhood.
Paramedics rushed the man to Our Lady of the Resurrection Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 8:58 p.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
The medical examiner's office identified him as Manuel Hernandez and listed his address as the same one where the shooting happened.
Later, as snow coated Central Avenue and several squad cars parked near the scene, police searched for evidence and photographed a bike lying by an entrance on the building's north side.
It appeared the man had collapsed shortly after being shot near where the bike was found, police said.
Police have launched a homicide investigation in the shooting.
In a separate shooting, a 19-year-old and a 20-year-old were wounded about 11:30 p.m. near the intersection of South California Avenue and West 52nd Street.
Someone opened fire from an alley as the two walked home from a party, striking the 19-year-old in the back and the 20-year-old in the side, Gaines said.
Both people were taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where they were listed in good condition Gaines said.
The shooting happened in the Gage Park neighborhood on the Southwest Side.
A female was also shot in the foot just before 5 a.m. near the intersection of West 16th Street and South Kedvale Avenue, police said.
