(WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- A second person who was wounded in a mass shooting Monday in Grand Crossing has died.
Jon Rucker, 47, who was a bystander in the 7100 block of South State Street, died of a gunshot wound to the head Wednesday afternoon, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
Trivell Pruitt, 53, was arrested on suspicion of opening fire Monday about 5:40 p.m. during an argument with a 30-year-old man. The man was wounded in the leg, Chicago police said.
A short time later, police say Pruitt exchanged shots with a second shooter and was hit in the leg. Officers found Pruitt inside a nearby Subway restaurant about 8:30 p.m. Pruitt was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in critical condition. The second shooter remains at large.
Simon Brown Sr., 59, who was also a bystander, was shot in the abdomen and taken to University of Chicago Medical Center, police said. He later died.
Pruitt was charged in the shooting death of Brown and the wounding of the 30-year-old. He is facing one count each of first-degree murder and first-degree attempted murder, police said.
A judge ordered Pruitt to be held in jail Thursday while he awaits trial.
A vigil is planned Friday at a Grand Crossing church.
