Two men were shot in the vestibule of an apartment building in the 4600 block of West 131st Street on the evening of Tuesday, February 6, 2018. Police were called at about 6:22 p.m.; 33 year old Andrew L. Scott Jr. of Hazel Crest was pronounced dead at the scene. Urstin Adams, a 24 year old Black man from Alsip who lived on the block, was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn with multiple gunshot wounds and died at 1:05 p.m. on Thursday, February 8, 2018.

The Cook County Medical Examiner ruled both deaths homicides from multiple gunshot wounds. Detectives indicated this was not believed to be a random attack and said the victims may have known the shooter. The South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force joined the investigation and a tip line, 708-385-6902 ext. 264, was publicized while investigators canvassed neighbors and passersby for leads.

No arrests or suspect identifications were announced in contemporaneous reports. If anyone has information about who was in the building that evening or saw someone fleeing near 131st Street, please come forward.
