Chicago was plagued by violence over Memorial Day weekend when 22 people were shot, including two fatally, ABC7 reported.
One fatal shooting reportedly occurred when an argument erupted inside a vehicle on the city’s Northwest Side in the Logan Square neighborhood on Saturday afternoon. The 35-year-old victim was attempting to exit the vehicle when he was shot and killed by someone else inside the vehicle.
The shooter then fled the scene and remains at large.
