Officers responded to reports of a stabbing in the 1500 block of South Wabash Avenue at 8:50 p.m. and found a man with multiple stab wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Another man was transported to a nearby hospital with injuries, according to Chicago Police Department spokesperson Officer Thomas Sweeney. No suspects were in custody as of Monday morning, and the investigation remains ongoing.
