Update, 1:45 p.m.: Paul Pagan, a 32-year-old man with a record of gun convictions has been charged with the shooting.
A 54-year-old Berwyn man who was shot in the head near Millennium Park on Saturday died Sunday evening. Peter Fabbri was pronounced dead at Northwestern Memorial Hospital at 5:53 p.m. last night, according to the Chicago Medical Examiner's office.
Fabbri, while walking with two women, was shot at roughly 7:35 p.m. on Sunday by an offender on a bike, potentially in an argument about a woman, police said. He was shot three times in the head and twice in the stomach, according to a GoFundMe page raising money for Fabbri's cremation expenses started by Nina Parks. Parks, who says that she was Fabbri's niece and one of the women with him at the time of the incident, wrote on the page that Fabbri was "brain dead" after the shooting, and died when the family decided to take him off life support with "tears in our eyes and down our faces."
Fabbri was reportedly leaving a wine tasting downtown and heading toward a train station when the argument started and escalated.
As of Saturday, police had a person of interest in custody in relation to the shooting, but no charges have been filed. The shooter initially escaped the scene of the crime on a bike, though Fabbri's sister, Shelly Fabbri, told CBS she tried to chase him down.
An autopsy has not yet been scheduled for Fabbri.
