CHICAGO (CBS) -- Two men have been accused of chasing down and killing a teenage boy Friday night after they got into an argument in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood.

Julian Castillo, 16, was visiting a friend at an apartment in the 6300 block of South Richmond Street around 8:45 p.m. Friday, when he got into an argument with two other people, according to police and the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.
