Mohannad G. Othman, 39, died at the hospital after being shot in the head, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner.
On Monday, police said a 12-year-old girl was among the injured. At last check, she was stable.

The fourth victim was a 19-year-old woman. She was shot in the leg. At last check, she was being treated for her injuries at the hospital.
The attorney for the man in custody said he and the 19-year-old woman, who was with him in the car, were in a relationship.
The older brother of the 12-year-old said she lives next-door, and was shot while answering the door for a person running from the gunfire.
"Unfortunately, no one's safe nowadays, not even in your house," he said. "When I came back, all that happened just within a blink of an eye."
He did not want to be identified.
"As you can see, the bullet went through the window and then got into her and then went out," he said.
They've lived on Babette Court near Central Avenue for 15 years, he said.
Police did not release the details behind the nature of the shooting, or the person in custody.
Othman will be laid to rest Tuesday.
His family said he was a father of four daughters, and was killed while at his parents' home.
His youngest two were twins born just months ago.
