Alfredo Hernandez survived for nearly two years. But the 53-year-old died Tuesday of injuries suffered when he was wounded in 2015 in a shooting at a South Deering neighborhood bar on the Far South Side.
At 11:19 p.m. on Dec. 17, 2015, Hernandez and a 47-year-old man were at Frank’s Tap & Grill in the 9600 block of South Commercial, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
A man with a gun came into the bar and fired multiple shots, police said.
Hernandez was shot in the abdomen, underarm and back; and the 47-year-old man was shot in the right side of the abdomen, police said.
Hernandez was taken in serious condition to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn after the shooting, and the other victim was taken to Trinity Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Hernandez, a South Chicago neighborhood resident, died at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, according to the medical examiner’s office. An autopsy Thursday found he died of delayed complications from the gunshot wound to the torso, and his death was ruled a homicide.
No arrests had been made as of Saturday morning, according to police.
