CHICAGO (WLS) -- Two people were killed in a targeted robbery and shooting in Chinatown Tuesday night, Chicago police and the local alderman said.
The shooting took place at about 9:56 p.m. in the 2400-block of South Normal Avenue.
Officers were responding to shots fired when they found the first victim outside a home with multiple gunshot wounds, police said. The victim was pronounced dead on the scene.
A second victim was found with a gunshot wound to the shoulder, and taken to a hospital, where he later died, police said.
The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office identified the victims as 32-year-old Faliang Gao and 33-year-old Jianru Zheng. Gao was shot multiple times, and Zheng was shot in the back.
They both lived in the block where the shooting took place.
