The situation unfolded as a 22-year-old woman and 38-year-old Marcus Young were arguing inside a home in the 400 block of West Marquette Road around 10:55 p.m. and Young pulled out a sharp object and stabbed the woman in the abdomen, Chicago police said.

When Young pulled the 22-year-old outside of the home, a female inside the home who witnessed the altercation, shot Young in the chest. Young was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

The 22-year-old was taken to the same hospital in good condition, police said.

Officers arrested the female and recovered the gun, police said. Charges were pending.

It seems to me that the threat to the 22-year-old was on-going at the time of the shot. Maybe CWB will have better details soon.

Also, my vocabulary peeve: Police cannot "recover" a gun that they didn't lose. The 4th Amendment calls it "seizure," because that's what it is.

And “they” rarely recover those that they do lose!  😃
