The men argued on a porch about 11:30 p.m. and Willis left and said, “I’ll be back with my gun,” according to police.

A short time later, he allegedly returned and shot Wallace several times, police said.

Wallace was taken to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County, where he was pronounced dead at 12:20 a.m., according to the medical examiner’s office. Willis, of the 5700 block of South Michigan Avenue, was arrested Wednesday and charged with first-degree murder, police said. He is expected to appear in bond court Friday.
