A 25-year-old man was shot and killed Sunday morning after an argument inside a North Lawndale home, according to Chicago police. Around 8 a.m., in the 2100 block of South Trumbull Avenue, another person pulled a gun during the dispute and shot the man three times in the chest. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police said no one was in custody.

What police say

Investigators told reporters that a domestic argument inside the residence escalated until the suspect opened fire, as first reported by the Chicago Sun-Times. According to that report, the victim was struck three times in the chest and later pronounced dead at Mount Sinai Hospital. As of the time the Sun-Times story was published, authorities had not announced any arrests.

Earlier incidents in the same area

The block and nearby streets have seen repeated gun violence in recent years. On Aug. 22, 2023, a shooting in the 2100 block of South Trumbull left one man dead and three others wounded, according to CBS Chicago. That earlier investigation was handled by Area Four detectives, a reminder that multiple shootings have hit the same stretch of North Lawndale.

Ongoing investigation

A December 2025 report in the Chicago Sun-Times detailed another fatal shooting in North Lawndale, underscoring how deadly violence has continued to grip parts of the West Side. Detectives are still investigating Sunday’s killing and have asked anyone with information to contact Chicago police. As of now, authorities have not publicly identified a suspect.
