Man killed in shooting during fight in Chicago's Lincoln Park community

A man was shot and killed in a fight in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood Sunday night.

Police said at 11:43 p.m., a fight broke out in a bar in the 2200 block of North Lincoln Avenue, near the six-way intersection with Webster Avenue and Larrabee Street/Geneva Terrace.

The fight spilled out of the bar, and outside, someone pulled a gun and shot a 30-year-old man, police said.

The victim was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. He was identified as Malik McCorkle, 30, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.

A suspect was placed into custody, and charges were pending early Monday, police said. A gun was recovered.

Hours later on the same block, a driver hit a squad car. At 4:30 a.m. Monday, a 26-year-old man was driving a Hyundai Kona northwest on Lincoln Avenue when he struck the rear of a parked Chicago police squad car that had its emergency lights activated.

Two officers were taken to an area hospital in good condition, police said. No other injuries were reported.

Reports were not immediately confirmed that the officers whose squad car was struck were on the scene investigating the earlier shooting.

Ald. Timmy Knudsen (43rd) said police will step up patrols near the area and will have permanent patrols on weekends.
