South Loop, Chicago shooting today: Bicyclist shot and killed during an argument in the 1100 block of South Wabash Avenue, police department says

CHICAGO (WLS) — A cyclist was shot and killed during an argument on the South Loop Saturday night, Chicago police said.

Police said the shooting happened in the 1100 block of South Wabash Avenue just before 6:30 p.m.

A 23-year-old man was riding a bicycle and got into a fight with another person who identified himself only as a man.

The argument turned physical, police said, and that’s when the gunman pulled out a gun and shot the cyclist.

The victim, who was shot in the lower back, was taken to Northwestern Hospital in satisfactory condition.

The suspect in the shooting fled the scene eastbound on Roosevelt Road on a blue bicycle.

No one is in custody. Third Precinct detectives are investigating.
