Five hours later, an unidentified male was found dead with a gunshot wound in his face in the hallway of an apartment building, the local outlet reported.

A total of four people were killed on Sunday including a 28-year-old man who took a round to the head in an apparent drive-by shooting, according to CBS Chicago. Another man, who was suspected of robbing an individual and shooting him in the leg, was riddled with bullets and found dead by authorities, the local outlet reported.
