No charges will be filed over the fatal shooting John Stewart during an exchange of gunfire Thursday morning in Bronzeville after police determined the shooting was self-defense.
The two men started shooting at each other during an argument about 5:10 a.m. in the 4700 block of South King Drive, according to Chicago Police.
Stewart, 39, was shot in the head and was pronounced dead at the scene, according to police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office. He was killed on the block where he lived.
The other man, 52, was shot in the knee and shin, and was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in good condition, police said.
No charges were filed against the man who survived because the shooting was determined to be self-defense, a law enforcement source said Tuesday.
