A chase between two rival gangs turned deadly over the weekend when a 19-year-old South Side man was shot and killed and his friend was injured after being thrown from an overpass, police said.
Rosendo Guzman, of the 3700 block of West 61st Street, was shot twice in the head and once in the chest. He was pronounced dead Saturday night at Mt. Sinai Hospital Medical Center, police said.
Wentworth Area police said Sunday night that no one had been charged.
Guzman was a passenger in a car that was chasing another car, police said. In the 3900 block of South Pulaski Road, Guzman’s car crashed against two other vehicles.
Rival gang members pulled up and started a fight with Guzman and his three companions; Guzman was shot and killed. A 21-year-old was thrown off the overpass above the Stevenson Expressway, police said, and two more teens in the car were beaten with baseball bats.
In another South Side weekend attack, a 21-year-old man was killed and his 17-year-old friend was wounded when they walked down a South Side street Saturday night. Steven Harvey, of the 7800 block of South Hermitage Avenue, was shot after quarreling with a man, said a Calumet Area detective.
No one has been charged, the Calumet Area detective said.
Harvey was pronounced dead Saturday night at the Stein Institute. His friend, whose name was unavailable, was treated and released from Holy Cross Hospital.
