Adarrius Thompson was killed in a domestic-related shooting that left his 50-year-old mother seriously injured early Saturday in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood.
A 47-year-old man got into an argument with Thompson and his mother at their apartment building in the 6200 block of South Rockwell Street about 1:15 a.m., authorities said.
Police said the older man left, but returned a short time later and shot Thompson and his mother.
Thompson was shot in the chest and died at the scene. His mother was also shot in the chest and was hospitalized at Mount Sinai Hospital in serious condition, authorities said.
The relationship between the 47-year-old and the two victims was not immediately known.
Nobody has been charged for the murder.
Area Central detectives are investigating.
