A Naperville man was fatally shot in Evanston Sunday, while a Chicago man was stabbed in what investigators believe is a related incident.

About 3:30 p.m. Sunday, Evanston police responded to a 911 call on the 2000 block of Wesley Avenue. Officers located 45-year-old Van T. Ross of Naperville with a gunshot wound and a 27-year-old Chicago man who had stab wounds.

Both men were taken to the hospital by the Evanston Fire Department.
