Three men were shot, two of them fatally, about a block from Evanston Township High School on Friday.
Someone walked up and opened fire at the men about 11:46 a.m. as they sat on the porch of a home in the 1800 block of Hovland Court, Evanston police said.
The Cook County medical examiner’s office identified the dead men as Demarcus Cokley, 20, and Jose Francisco Sanchez-Guerrero, 21.
Injuries suffered by the third man, 18, were not life-threatening, police said.
No arrests have been made, police said. The suspect was described as a male in a dark hoodie and gray sweatpants. He ran north from the scene across Emerson Street.
All Evanston-Skokie School District 65 schools were placed on soft lockdown until the end of the day as a precautionary measure in response to the shooting.
