CHICAGO (CBS) — A man was shot and killed during a fight over a parking space in Belmont Central Friday night, police said.
The man, 36, was trying to park his car in his garage in the 2600 block of North Mobile Avenue at about 9:50 p.m. when he requested that a car blocking the garage move, authorities said. That's when an unidentified man got out of the vehicle blocking the garage and started pushing the victim.
The two men got into a physical struggle and the offender drew a weapon and shot at the victim before he got back into his car and fled the scene, police said. The victim was shot in the back and taken to Loyola University Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
