The most recent fatal shooting happened early Saturday in a Chicago Lawn neighborhood apartment on the Southwest Side, where a 50-year-old woman was seriously injured and her son was killed in a domestic-related incident, police said.

About 1:15 a.m. Saturday, a 47-year-old man got into an argument with the mother and son, left the apartment, returned with a gun and shot both in the chest, police said.

Adarrius Thompson, 27, was dead at the scene, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office. He lived in the block where the shooting happened, authorities said.

His mother was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in serious condition, police said.

The exact relationship between the 47-year-old — who is not in police custody — and the two others was not immediately known, police said.

Friday night, a man was killed and three other people were injured in a possible drive-by shooting Friday night in the Austin neighborhood.

The shooting happened shortly after 8 p.m. in the 5200 block of West Quincy Street, police said. Damien Bryant, 32, was shot in the head and pronounced dead at the scene at 8:13 p.m., according to police and the medical examiner’s office. Bryant lived in the block where the shooting happened, authorities said.

A 30-year-old woman who suffered multiple gunshot wounds in the shooting showed up at Loretto Hospital and was later transferred to Stroger Hospital in “stable” condition, police said.

Another male, whose age was not known, was shot in the right arm and refused medical treatment, police said. He did not cooperate with authorities, police said.

A 41-year-old man took himself to West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park with a gunshot wound to his hand, police said. He was listed in “stable” condition.

Additionally, a 37-year-old man was taken from the scene of the shooting to West Suburban with a broken foot, police said. He was listed in good condition.

Police believe the shooting may have been a drive-by attack.

The most recent nonfatal shooting happened about 4:30 a.m. Saturday in Humboldt Park, where a 33-year-old was walking in the 3300 block of West Le Moyne Avenue when a light-colored four-door vehicle drove by and someone inside opened fire, striking the man in the left leg, police said. He took himself to Norwegian American Hospital where he was listed in good condition.

Less than an hour earlier, a 22-year-old man was shot in the South Deering neighborhood. He was found about 3:55 a.m. with several gunshot wounds in a gangway in the 9800 block of South Hoxie Avenue, police said. A relative took him to Advocate Trinity Hospital, and he was later transferred in critical condition to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, police said.

Earlier Friday night, a 15-year-old boy and two men were shot in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood on the Northwest Side.

About 9:55 p.m., the teen was sitting in a vehicle with a 54-year-old man in the 6000 block of West Fullerton Avenue when two people walked up and opened fire, police said.

The 54-year-old suffered a graze wound to the head, and the teen was shot in the right arm, police said. A 24-year-old man who was outside was shot in the back, police said.

The men were taken to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood and the teen was taken to Children’s Memorial Hospital. All three were in “stable” condition, police said.

At least nine other people have been wounded in other citywide shootings since 6 p.m. Friday.
