He was playing with a group of people at about 11:35 a.m. in the 200 block of East 111th Street when an argument broke out, Chicago police said. Palmer Park is on that block.


A male pulled out a gun and fired shots, hitting the 25-year-old in the head, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
