CHICAGO (WLS) -- One man was killed and another wounded after a shooting at a nightclub in the city's South Loop neighborhood, police said.

Authorities say the shooting happened after an argument between two men about a woman. One man was thrown out of the club, but police say he returned later and opened fire around 1:20 a.m. Saturday at Riff Music Lounge in the 2200-block of South Michigan Avenue.

The victim, a 36-year-old Michael Ricks, sustained a gunshot wound to the stomach and was pronounced dead at Northwestern hospital.

Another 39-year-old male bystander was also shot in the stomach and hospitalized.

No one is in custody.
