The fatal encounter at the hotel occurred around 1:21 a.m. Sunday when a 35-year-old man got into an argument with someone in the lounge of the Lincoln Park hotel.

Another 35-year-old man shot him, police said.

As of Sunday, no one was in custody.

It came just hours after a 13-year-old boy, later identified as Lavel Winslow, was found on a bench with a gunshot wound to the head.

The witness told police he heard a loud bang followed by people fleeing the area on foot before calling for help on Friday.

Winslow was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Family members told CBS2 they were “struggling to deal with the tragic incident.”

Unfortunately, this was only the beginning of a weekend of gun violence.
