A woman died early Thursday after being shot New Year's Day during an argument with a man inside a North Lawndale home on the West Side.

Around 2:50 a.m. Wednesday, the unidentified woman, 43, and a 38-year-old man were arguing in a home in the 1200 block of South Sawyer Avenue when the man shot her several times, Chicago police said.
