Delgado died minutes after he was shot in the head across the street from Nick’s Beer Garden, in the 1500 block of North Milwaukee Avenue, the Sun-Times reports. Officers patrolling the area heard gunshots just after the bar's closing time, around 2:20 a.m. Saturday.
A police source told DNAinfo Chicago Saturday's shooting was gang-related. Gonzalez and his associates allegedly tried to shoot an 18-year-old who was with Delgado and fired the direction of a third man.
Delgado's brother told the Sun-Times the 19-year-old wasn't in a gang but rather worked two jobs -- one alongside his father -- and had plans of going to college to study nursing.
Two other people were initially questioned, but were released after Gonzalez was positively identified as the shooter through several line-ups.
