Michael ‘Zo’ Gipson shot to death during argument with aquaintance on block where he lived in Chatham

Michael M. Gipson was shot to death after an argument early Sunday on the block where he lived in the Chatham neighborhood on the South Side, police said.

At 3:20 a.m., the 40-year-old was arguing with someone he knew in the 7800 block of South Michigan, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

That person then pulled out a gun and opened fire.

Gipson, who lived in the same block, was shot in the abdomen, and was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 4:11 a.m., authorities said.

The family has set up a GoFundMe page to help offset funeral costs for Gipson, who was known to friends as “Zo.”
