A 21-year-old man was fatally stabbed late Sunday in what Chicago police suspect may have been an internal gang dispute.
The stabbing occurred just after 8 p.m. in front of a liquor store in the 200 block of South Western Avenue in the city's Near West Side.
Officers responding to a large fight discovered the victim lying on the street with a single stab wound to the chest.
The victim, Romel Robinson, was taken to John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County, where he was pronounced dead at 8:47 p.m.
Police believe that Robinson and his attacker may have been members of the area street gang and that the stabbing may have been due to an internal disagreement.
Police were following leads, though most of the crowd present before and during the fatal attack had fled by the time police arrived.
Robinson, of the 2800 block of West Harrison Street, had numerous arrests, along with convictions for manufacture/delivery of marijuana and aggravated battery to a police officer
