Demond Parnell was killed in a Monday night shooting outside his Edgewater neighborhood home.
Parnell, 34, was walking in the 5200 block of North Kenmore Avenue when someone walked up, started a conversation then shot him once in the chest about 10 p.m. Monday, authorities said.
Parnell, who lived on the block, died at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center less than an hour later, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
Nobody has been charged for the murder.
Area North detectives are investigating if the shooting is gang related.
