The domestic fight started outside about 11:15 p.m. Saturday in the 5400 block of West Kamerling, according to Chicago Police.
The 19-year-old drove away and hit three family members with the car as he did so, police said.
One of them, the 39-year-old Peters, was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he died less than an hour later, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office. An autopsy found he died of multiple blunt force injuries, and his death was ruled a homicide.
Peters lived in the 500 block of West 66th Street. A police source said he was the father of the 19-year-old, who was not in custody as of Monday morning.
Two other relatives, a 37-year-old man and 41-year-old woman, were taken to West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park, where their conditions were stabilized.
