CHICAGO (CBS) -- The two people arrested in the case of the shooting death of a man heading to work on the city's Northwest Side were released from custody, according to Chicago police.
The shooting happened around 7 a.m. Friday in the Dunning neighborhood.
CBS 2 is waiting for the Cook County Medical Examiner's report before publishing the victim's name, but he was a young father.
Neighbors visited the family's home Saturday, offering comfort. They said they were stunned by the violence that took place in their neighborhood.
Detectives could be seen peering into backyards, bushes, and alleys as they covered ground in the neighborhood.
A home security camera captured a person running down Pittsburgh Avenue, away from the spot where the 24-year-old father had been shot in the chest.
A woman who asked not to have her identity revealed said she tried using her sweatshirt to put pressure on the wound, but the man died in the hospital.
"I'm so sorry that he didn't make it, and I wish you would've and to see your children grow," she said. "I feel so bad. I know he's got a baby and one on the way, and I've got children. And I tried to keep him alive for his kids. That's all I was trying to do."
She said the man told her he was walking to work.
Police sources say he had some cash taken from him.
Neighbors said they were shocked and on edge, but there was a bit of relief when CPD announced that two people were taken into custody.
On Sunday, CPD said the two people of interest were released from custody without any charges.
Investigation into the shooting remains ongoing.
