The man, 40, was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital and pronounced dead at 10:47 p.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office. His name hasn’t been released.

In 2018, 49-year-old Lonnie Rucker was shot and killed on the same block during an argument.
The 15th District, which covers Austin, has seen at least 10 shootings in the last month, a decrease over the same period a year ago when there were 14 shootings, according to police statistics.
