A 25-year-old man was killed Sunday in a double stabbing in Logan Square on the Northwest Side.

Jose Lorenzano and another man, 30, got into an argument with a 22-year-old man about 5:15 a.m. in the 2100 block of North Maplewood Avenue, Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said. When the argument turned physical, the 22-year-old allegedly pulled out a knife and stabbed the two men multiple times.

Both men were taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center in serious condition, police said. Lorenzano was pronounced dead about about 6:40 a.m.

An autopsy has been scheduled to determine his official cause of death.

The 22-year-old fled the scene but was eventually taken into custody, police said. Charges are pending against him.

Area North detectives are investigating.
