Jeremy Rodgers died Thursday, more than 10 days after he was shot during an argument in the Avondale neighborhood on the Northwest Side.
Rodgers, 27, was meeting with someone he knew about 6:05 a.m. June 5 in the 3900 block of West Belmont when they got into an argument, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
The other person then pulled out a gun and shot Rodgers in the head.
He was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where he remained for over a week, before he died at 3:58 a.m. Thursday, authorities said. He lived in the 1800 block of South Springfield.
An autopsy Friday found Rodgers died of a gunshot wound to the head and his death was ruled a homicide, according to the medical examiner’s office.
No one was in custody for the shooting as of Friday afternoon.
