At 6:59 a.m., the 19-year-old man was walking along Lunt Avenue when someone came up and fired one shot to his head.
The suspect fled west on Lunt Avenue toward Clark Street in a black sport-utility vehicle, police said.
The man was rushed by ambulance to St. Francis, where he was pronounced dead, police said.
Area Three detectives were investigating both shootings late Sunday.
