Police say that a 31-year old man was shot multiple times before being taken to Christ Hospital where he was declared dead.
Police said that the second victim, a 29 year-old woman, was struck in the upper back and left arm. She was then taken to hospital in serious condition.
FBG Cash is the stage name of rapper Tristian Hamilton.
In a statement to NBC News, the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office said that the man who died from his injuries was Tristian Hamilton. He lives in Chicago's 8100 block South Marshfield Avenue.
