Police say the victim was a 21-year-old man. He has not yet been identified. A 26-year-old man was also seriously injured during the attack.
Neighbors were left on edge by the violent attack.
"It’s tragic," said Suzy Dooley, who lives in Edgewater. "I think that there are a lot of people in this area that need more mental health care than they’re getting, and they live all among us, and all around us."
Ald. Harry Osterman, who represents Edgewater, said this is the neighborhood’s first homicide of 2023.
