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 commitment continues to the family of the victim and our whole 43rd Ward Community in prosecuting this senseless homicide to the maximum extent. Today signifies the first, but crucial step towards that and I vow to work directly with the Cook County State’s Attorney, Eileen O’Neil Burke, to ensure that this is accomplished.”
