Chicago police say the SWAT situation started after officers responded to a report of a person shot just after 12 a.m. in the 7800 block of South Paulina Street, in Auburn Gresham.
According to police, the individual believed to be involved in the standoff had met with the victim for the sale of a vehicle, but during the meetup, officers said the offender allegedly pulled out a gun and fired shots at the victim, a 26-year-old man.
Officers said the victim suffered a gunshot wound to his head and was taken to the hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
Following the shooting, a witness told officers on the scene that they had spotted a person, who they believed to be the gunman, flee into a nearby residence.
Officers then called in the SWAT team for assistance.
In an update shared just before 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, officers said the situation had concluded with no arrests.
It is unclear if the suspect managed to escape from the residence, but officers say an investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to contact CPD Area Three Detectives at 312-744-8263 or dial 911.
