A condo board president was killed before the suspect was shot in Uptown, police said.
CHICAGO, Ill. — A 63-year-old Ravenswood man was killed Monday night before Chicago police shot the suspected gunman in Uptown after a brief foot chase, officials said.
The shooting has left a condo community mourning and placed the actions of police officers under review. Authorities said the suspect remained in critical condition after officers opened fire when he pointed a gun in their direction.
The violence began about 8:20 p.m. in the 4800 block of North Clark Street, where officers were sent after a report of shots fired. Police said the victim and the suspect had argued before the suspect pulled out a gun and fired. The victim was taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Neighbors said the victim was known as Mark and served as president of the condo board. They said he had confronted the suspect and told him to leave the property. “It’s gonna be tough because we really have a loss here,” resident Kurt Munson said, describing the victim as kind and helpful.
Police said the suspect ran from Ravenswood and was later spotted in the 1400 block of West Argyle Street. Officers pursued him on foot. During the chase, police said, the suspect turned and pointed his gun toward officers. Officers fired, striking him. The suspect was taken to St. Francis Hospital.
A firearm was recovered after the shooting, police said. Three officers also were transported to a hospital for observation. Officials did not immediately release the names of the officers or say how many fired their weapons.
The Civilian Office of Police Accountability is handling the review of the officer-involved shooting. Chicago detectives are separately investigating the killing in Ravenswood. Police had not released the suspect’s name or announced charges by Tuesday afternoon.
The case moved from a quiet residential stretch of Ravenswood to a busy Uptown corridor within minutes, leaving residents shaken across both neighborhoods. Dan Hernandez, who lives in the area, said the shooting was hard to square with daily life there.
The investigation remained open Tuesday. Officials had not released a full timeline beyond the initial 8:20 p.m. call, the Ravenswood shooting and the later police encounter on West Argyle Street.
