The shooting took place at about 9:20 p.m. in the 800-block of West Lill Avenue on April 16, Chicago police said.
Kevin Patel, 28, was shot in the chest just steps away from his home, officials said.
Close friends of the victim told ABC7 he was from the Philadelphia-area but was living and working in Chicago.
Nearly a week after his death, Chicago police said two persons of interest were in custody.
Josalyn Fowler, 25 of Thornton, was charged with two counts of murder and one count of attempted robbery.
She is due in court on Friday.
No other information about the other person of interest was available.
Last week, witnesses told investigators they saw a man and woman running from the scene before police arrived.
43th Ward Alderman Timmy Knudsen sent the following note to the community:
Our dedication remains strong to the victim’s family and to our entire 43rd Ward community as we seek justice for this tragic loss of life. This day represents the initial and pivotal move in pursuing accountability to the fullest extent possible. I pledge to collaborate closely with Cook County State’s Attorney, Eileen O’Neil Burke, to see this through to completion.
