The man directed officers to the firearm he had used.
Other officers found the 52-year-old victim at the intersection of 59th and Blue Hills Road with an apparent gunshot wound to the left arm.
Witnesses told police that the victim and suspect were father and son, and had been in a verbal argument prior to the shooting.
Shortly after 7:15 p.m., police were dispatched to the 2500 block of Kensington Avenue on a report of a separate shooting.
A 21-year-old victim with a gunshot wound to the lower back was found in the yard.
