The other victim, also 42, was shot twice in the chest. He was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition.
Another man, identified as 36-year-old Quintrel M. Jemison by the Medical Examiner's Office, suffered a gunshot wound to the chest and was found in the 8300 block of South Colfax Avenue, where he was pronounced dead.
