Police said Paterimos had gotten into an argument with a 30-year-old man just before midnight. Paterimos was then stabbed several times in the arm, neck, and back, according to police.
He was taken to a hospital, where he later died.
Police arrested the 30-year-old man at the scene but he was released without charges several days later. Saturday, police re-issued a warrant for the suspect's arrest, but will not comment until the arrest warrant is served.
As of Tuesday, the suspect was not in Chicago police custody.
A CPD spokesman said police strongly encourage the man to turn himself in.
