Luis Aguilar, 27, was shot in the head and pronounced dead on the scene at 11:52 p.m., according to police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office. He lived in the Rogers Park neighborhood.

An autopsy released Friday said Aguilar died from multiple gunshot wounds. His death was ruled a homicide.

The other man, 26, took a bullet to the face and was brought in serious condition to Saint Francis Hospital in Evanston.
