Editor's Note: NBC Chicago includes shootings that took place between 6 p.m. Friday and 12 a.m. Monday in the weekend violence report.

Five people are dead, and at least 22 have been injured in shootings and stabbings across Chicago since Friday evening.

The violence began early Friday evening following the warmer than average day.

A 36-year-old man was shot dead around 10:50 p.m. in the Humboldt Park neighborhood, police said. He and a 35-year-old man were sitting in a parked car in the 1100 block of North Springfield when someone walked up to them and fired shots, police said.

The 36-year-old man was shot in the chest and later died at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital. The other victim is in serious condition after being shot in the neck.

Just after the shooting, the two men took themselves to Presence Saints Mary and Elizabeth Medical Center. The 26-year-old man was later transferred to Stroger, police said.

Both victims are documented gang members, a police source said.

Less than an hour before that shooting, an 18-year-old man who police say pointed a gun at officers was killed in a police-involved shooting at about 10:10 p.m. Friday near 74th Street and Merrill in the South Shore neighborhood.

Officers on patrol in the area had heard shots fired and saw a van speeding away from the scene before pursuing the suspect, police said.

The officers said they saw someone jump from the van with a gun in his hand and ordered him to drop his weapon, but he instead pointed it at them. An officer fired two shots, hitting and killing the man. 

The 18-year-old has been identified as Jeffery Kemp of the 7400 block of South Jeffery.

Another man was killed early Saturday morning in a fight and subsequent stabbing at an establishment in the Humboldt Park neighborhood.

Two 50-year-old men who knew each other got into a fight in the establishment in the 2600 block of West Chicago Avenue, which police have not identified, at about 1:05 a.m. One man then stabbed the other in the chest with a knife, police said.

The victim was taken to Presence Saints Mary and Elizabeth Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, police said. No one is in custody in the stabbing.

A 43-year-old man was found dead around 5:20 a.m. Sunday after a shooting in the 2300 block of South Washtenaw in Little Village. He was shot in the head and pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
