CHICAGO — Six people were killed and at least 15 others wounded in shootings between Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning, police said. Other shootings Friday and Saturday killed one and wounded 16, bringing the bloody weekend tally to seven dead, 31 wounded.
The most recent fatal shooting occurred about 2:30 a.m. Sunday when Marquette District police officers shot an armed man in South Lawndale, police said in a statement.
Officers were attempting to curb a car for a traffic violation in the 1700 block of South Springfield Avenue when a passenger jumped out of the vehicle and ran. Police followed the man into an alley, where he slipped and fell to the ground.
As the man got up, he reached for a weapon in his waistband. Officers opened fire and killed the man, Antwon Johnson, 24. He was pronounced dead on the scene at 4:11 a.m., according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office.
In West Garfield Park, a 31-year-old man was shot dead about 1:30 a.m. Sunday in the 200 block of South Keeler Avenue, said Officer John Mirabelli, a police spokesman.
The man, later identified as Cortez Wilberton of the 200 block of South Lavergne Avenue, was rushed to Loretto Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 2:13 a.m. A 31-year-old female companion who suffered a graze wound to her cheek was also taken to Loretto.

Just after midnight Sunday, four men were shot — one fatally — in the 900 block of East 79th Street in Greater Grand Crossing, Mirabelli said. The men were standing inside a club when someone opened the front door and fired shots. Police believe some of the victims were involved in an altercation outside the club moments before the shooting.

Rivera was struck in his left arm and back and managed to walk a short distance before collapsing, Mirabelli said. The teen was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 1:37 a.m. Sunday.
